HSVP Acquiring Land After 20 Years
HSVP hasn’t opened a single new sector in Gurugram in about two decades. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s basically been private developers building the city while the government authority sat on the sidelines. That’s finally changing. Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran has kicked off a large land procurement drive, and this time it’s genuinely big.
Why This Matters
For 20 years, if you wanted a plot or a home in Gurugram, you were buying from a private developer, DLF, M3M, Signature Global, whoever. HSVP just wasn’t in the game. Prices climbed the way they do when supply is controlled by a handful of large players, and a lot of buyers got priced out entirely. Officials have more or less admitted this was the problem, land disputes, procedural delays, and a policy tilt toward letting private developers lead urban growth kept HSVP out of the picture for two decades.
Now the government wants back in. The scale of what’s planned is hard to overstate.
- Around 1.8 lakh acres to be procured across Haryana in total
- Close to 23,739 to 24,000 acres of that within Gurugram and its surrounding belt
- Phase 1 alone covers roughly 17,358 acres across 51 sectors
- New sectors expected to launch in the first half of 2026
- Land procurement running through the e-Bhoomi portal, mostly consent-based direct purchase
How the Phases Break Down
This isn’t happening all at once. HSVP is doing it in three stages.
| Phase | Area Covered | Approximate Land |
| Phase 1 | 51 sectors, including 26, 37D, 59, 63, 67 to 79 and beyond up to Sector 112 | ~17,358 acres |
| Phase 2 | Sohna (sectors 2 to 36) and Gwal Pahari | ~5,168 acres |
| Phase 3 | Farukhnagar | ~1,203 acres |
The first phase is where things are moving fastest. Estate officers have already started verifying land records, and a letter formalizing the procurement process went out earlier this year.
Which Corridors Get the Land
HSVP has flagged a handful of growth belts where most of this new development will actually land.
- Southern Peripheral Road, roughly sectors 76 to 80
- Dwarka Expressway belt, sectors 99A to 104
- New Gurgaon along NH-48, sectors 82A to 86
- Pataudi and Farukhnagar stretch, sectors 88A, 89A, 95A and 95B
Interestingly, most of the city outside SPR and the Dwarka Expressway corridor was already developed by HSVP decades ago, sectors 1 through 57 came out of the original Gurgaon-Manesar Development Plan. This new push is essentially picking up where that plan left off, just two decades late.
What Changed Along the Way
In a related move, the state government dissolved the Haryana Housing Board and folded it into HSVP during the current assembly session. That means HSVP now also handles housing for economically weaker sections, a job that used to sit entirely with the housing board. Officials are framing this as a way to streamline urban planning under one roof instead of splitting it across two departments that don’t always talk to each other.
What This Means If You’re Buying or Investing
Government-procured land usually means one thing for buyers: prices that sit below what private developers charge for comparable plots, at least initially. If HSVP actually delivers serviced plots across these new sectors, it could genuinely ease some of the affordability pressure that’s built up in Gurgaon over the last two decades.
The catch is execution. HSVP hasn’t run a project of this scale in living memory, and 20 years of inactivity doesn’t just disappear because a new plan got approved. Land disputes, compensation delays, and infrastructure rollout timelines are all things that have tripped up government land schemes before, in Gurgaon and elsewhere. At True Asset Consultancy, we’re advising clients to track the Phase 1 sectors closely rather than betting on the entire 24,000-acre vision playing out on schedule.
