The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) is set to deploy a dedicated team of officials from next week to kick-start formalities for finding land for the third-phase expansion of Infopark Kochi through land-pooling.
The government order dated October 18, 2024, designated the GCDA as the appropriate authority for the proposed land-pooling under Section 56 of the Kerala Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Act, into which land-pooling rules were incorporated through an extraordinary government gazette dated March 16, 2024. The GCDA has thus become the first local body to act as an ‘appropriate authority’ to make available land for a major project in the State under land-pooling rules.
