contributions from the Banks to AMC at different stages of completion of
infrastructure works and for managing the operation and maintenance
 Resource Mobilization:

41. Land sharing model under PPP in Vijayawada,
Andhra Pradesh
 Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) required 1000 acre land
for construction of 50,000 dwelling units under JNNURM / RAY
for EWS beneficiaries living in the city slums.
 VMC introduced a Land Sharing Model through Public Private
Partnership (PPP) approach.
 Acquired 226.54 acre land at Gollapudi and Jakkampudi villages
under PPP between land-owning farmers and the State
Government.
 Land sharing agreement in 60:40 ratios wherein:
 i40% of the total land area can be taken possession by the Revenue
Department;
 i60% land shall be retained by the land owners with land use conversion,
approval of layout by the UDA and Government and development of
infrastructure with funds from Social Welfare Department.

42. Land sharing model under PPP in Vijayawada,
Andhra Pradesh
 Unique features of this project:
 Method is participatory through negotiations for land
sharing
 Less time consuming ,as there are generally no objections
from farmers
 Financially this is a win –win model for both Government &
farmers- better compensation to land owners and more land
available to the Govt.
 Farmers save on the following :
 Land use conversion charge which is 10% of the land value,
 Registration charge which is 10% of the land value, and
 Layout development charge which is Rs.100 per sq. yd
