Industries in Delhi urge shift from leasehold to freehold to boost India’s USD 5 Trillion economy goal by 2025

Delhi, October 1st, 2024: The Executive Committee of Delhi Chapter of Indian Industries Association (IIA) held a meeting at the Jhandewalan Headquarters on September 30th, where members urged the Delhi Government, the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi, and the Union Government of India to implement a freehold policy for industrial units in Delhi.

Dr. Mamta, Chairperson of the Delhi Chapter, shared that Delhi has 29 notified industrial areas. While a scheme was introduced in 2005 to convert leasehold industrial properties to freehold, only a few have benefited from this. Government bodies like the DDA, DSIIDC, and the Industry Department have selectively applied this policy, leaving many industrial units without freehold status.

Dr. Mamta stressed that moving from leasehold to freehold is vital for unlocking the economic potential of these areas. This would attract more investments and help India achieve its $5 trillion economy target by 2025.

Main Points of the Appeal:

Business Growth: Freehold ownership would give industrial units more freedom to grow, innovate, and invest in new technologies, without the restrictions of lease agreements.

Increased Investment and Access to Credit: Freehold properties are considered more valuable by banks, making it easier for businesses to get loans and attract investors. This is crucial for supporting India’s economic development.

Enhanced Competitiveness: Industrial units in Delhi would be able to compete better with those in other regions that already have freehold status, leading to greater productivity and innovation.

Job Creation and Economic Impact: A freehold policy would lead to the expansion of industrial activities, creating jobs and developing new industrial hubs, all of which are important for reaching the $5 trillion economy goal.

Dr. Mamta urged that this policy should apply to all industrial units in Delhi, not just a few. If fully implemented, this would empower businesses to contribute more effectively to the economy and support India’s vision of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2025.

Delhi’s industrial sector plays a key role in the state’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of $130 billion. By implementing a freehold policy, business operations would become easier, attracting more investments both from within India and abroad.

Industries in Delhi believe that this change would help support the government’s “Ease of Doing Business” initiative and boost economic growth.
