Andhra Pradesh land re-survey acceleration and land approvals for clean energy projects
Change
Andhra Pradesh’s government told the Legislative Assembly it is fast-tracking Re-Survey 2.0, has resolved most re-survey discrepancy complaints, and is using an amended Assigned Lands Act to approve land for large clean-energy projects.
Why it matters
The Revenue Minister reported Re-Survey 2.0 completion in 7,926 villages with work ongoing in 2,998 more, and said ~2.79 lakh discrepancy complaints were received via Gram Sabhas with 98% resolved. Under the Joint LPAM system, ~7.5 lakh issues were identified and ~2.98 lakh addressed, alongside distribution of 19 lakh pattadar passbooks. Separately, the government said the amended Assigned Lands Act is enabling land approvals for clean-energy projects, citing a pipeline value of ₹10 lakh crore and potential 7.5 lakh jobs. Together, the update indicates a shift toward faster land-record finalization and formal land availability for project siting, reducing administrative uncertainty for some parcels while re-survey work continues elsewhere.
Implications
- • Faster closure of many land-record disputes as complaint backlogs are resolved.
- • Land access for clean-energy projects expands via Assigned Lands Act amendments.
- • Ongoing re-survey in 2,998 villages keeps title/record status in flux there.
- • LPAM issue identification creates a larger, trackable pipeline of pending fixes.
Who is affected
- • Clean energy project developers and EPC contractors seeking land parcels in A.P.
- • Assigned-land holders and occupants impacted by land-use/transfer permissions
- • Landowners/pattadars receiving updated passbooks and corrected records
- • Revenue Department and local bodies running re-survey/Gram Sabha grievance processes
