The above stretch is divided into the following 4 Planning Areas with 13 whole
Mandals:
5 Kanigiri 544 VI
6 Podili 333 VII
7 Konakanamitla 441 XIII
Kanigiri Planning Area 1,318
The said stretch is divided into 13 Phases for undertaking the industrial and
economic development. The development of this area has sizeable and contiguous
Government lands.
The Donakonda Planning Area has been divided into 15 Planning Clusters. Each
Planning Cluster admeasures 9 km x 10 km i.e., 90 sq km or 9,000 ha. Each cluster
will have a different industry focus along with support urban facilities and a unique
identity.
The pre-requiste for making this entire Planning Area of about 4300 sq.km attractive
for industrial and allied developments are:-
1) Making available large chunks of Government lands and large scale assigned
lands for development (see Annexure I)
2) The existing National and State Highways to be developed as 4-lane median
divided carriageway. Map showing NH and SH
3) The existing Donakonda Airport Area (under the control of National Airport
Authority) to be revived, developed and opened up as an Aerotropolis
especially focusing on air cargo, repairs, training and as a regional hub.
4) The connectivity with ports of Vodarevu and Ramayyapatnam be taken as
Freight and Logistics Corridor. Map
5) Developing a dedicated goods/ Inland Container Terminal at Gundalakkamma
Railway Station (which is a major junction of the existing Guntur-Bengaluru
Railways line and the proposed Nadikudi-Srikalahasti Railway Line)
6) Public Water Supply for both industrial development /new town to be taken up
on priority by completing the Veligodu Reservoir Project.
1.2 Clusters Primary Industrial Activity
Each of the above Cluster in the Donakonda Planning Area has been assigned a
specific industrial activity category as follows:
The Urban Nodes development would be centered around the existing settlement.
Each urban node would be developed as a New Town with all urban facilities and
amenities and affordable housing for the work force and other sections of society
which would cater to not only the adjoining Clusters but the respective Mandal as a
whole.
Without undertaking land acquisition for the Primary & Secondary Roads
network, and instead by undertaking up Strip Land Pooling Scheme as
follows:
Required to take up first the Donakonda Cluster Grids, i.e., each 9km x 10 km with
50 meters (165 ft) Right of way roads. Total Grid roads = 15 Clusters : Each Cluster
has 9 km x2 = 18 km and 10 km x2 = 20 km = 38 km Total grid roads = 38 x 15 = 570
km
Criteria
Right of Way for Grid Roads 50 m or 165 ft.
Total Grid Road Length 285 km
Length of Grid Road to each
4 km
Developer
Strip on each side of the road 300 m
Total Strip Width= Strip on each side
300 + 50 + 300 m = 650 m
+ Right of Way of Road
Total Land Area under Strip Land
4000 X 650 = 260 ha or 642 acres
Pooling
260 x1/3rd = 86.67 Ha. Cost of internal development works : Rs 25 lakhs per
acre or 62.5 lakhs per Ha.( Developer has to service only the 40% area +
Land capitalizing area)
Costs incurred =86.67 x 62.5 = Rs 5417 lakhs or Rs. 54.17 Crores
He is given 26 Ha
Value of this: Say Rs 2000 per sq yard
Apart from the above, the Developer can enter into Agreement with the land
holders for undertaking construction of Complexes on Development basis,
and earn good returns.
Each Cluster will have 4 such Schemes. There are 15 Clusters in the Donakonda
Planning Area. Thus the Authority can make a land bank of : 66 H x 4 x15 = 3960 Ha
or 9900 acres towards land Capitalising;
Will the Developed land for capitalizing be adequate for taking up the grid
roads construction?
It would need to sell 25 acres and still be left with 140 acres of developed land.
Thus it would be a win-win-win situation for the Developer- Land Owners- Authority
The Government without spending anything can ensure rapid industrial and
supporting residential and mixed development of the Planning areas.
It will open up the various Clusters for immediate development, i.e, and the
interior areas of the 9 km x 10 km for industrial developments in an
accelerated manner.
It will parallelly ensure development of support infrastructure and generate the
required industrial and urban eco-system rapidly.
It will set in a vibrant development and have multiplier effect in the area.
Promote overall development of the area and boost the States economy.
