The industrial development corporation has sought administrative approval from the district collector to acquire 1,945.19 acres of patta and government lands spread across six villages in a taluk for the proposed Global City project. The proposal aligns with the state government's 2025 budget announcement for developing a 2,000-acre Global City near a major metropolitan area, featuring IT parks, trade zones, residential areas, recreational spaces, and advanced urban infrastructure. Phase I of the project is expected to commence soon, with the corporation assuring enhanced connectivity to the city through metro rail, improved road networks, and express bus services.In its proposal, the corporation has pledged to fund land acquisition and establishment costs, form specialized teams to manage the acquisition process, and ensure rehabilitation and resettlement for eligible individuals in line with government norms. “Administrative clearance will enable the corporation to begin the project’s groundwork,” said a senior official. The Global City will incorporate AI-powered smart city management, digital twin-based urban planning, intelligent mobility systems, and eco-friendly blue-green infrastructure to promote sustainability.After evaluating potential sites in several nearby districts, a review chaired by the Chief Minister on August 22 selected the taluk for implementation. The corporation has earmarked 1,945.19 acres across several villages in the region. The identified lands include wetland, dry land, manavari land, and government land. The corporation has sought approval under the state's Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act to proceed with the acquisition.
