Karnal set for major expansion as HSVP plans 9 new sectors
1,035 acres of land would be purchased directly from land owners through the e-Bhoomi portal with their consent
In a major step towards the planned expansion of Karnal city, the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has initiated the process to purchase nearly 1,035 acres of land for the development of nine new sectors in and around the city.
To create awareness among farmers and landowners regarding the project, HSVP organised a special camp at the Rest House of Karnal Cooperative Sugar Mill on Thursday.
The camp was chaired by HSVP Estate Officer Aditi, who appealed to farmers and landowners to actively participate in the development process and take advantage of the government’s transparent land purchase policy through the e-Bhoomi portal.
Aditi said HSVP is planning to develop new sectors in Karnal, Mangalpur, Makrampur, Baldi, Kailash, Tikri, Budhakhera and Phoosgarh areas.
For this purpose, around 1,035 acres of land will be required. “The state government has sought consent from farmers and landowners for the planned development of these sectors. If people voluntarily provide land, the government will ensure systematic and well-planned urban development in these areas,” she said.
She informed that the land would be purchased directly from land owners through the e-Bhoomi portal with their consent, ensuring complete transparency.
Interested farmers and landowners can submit their consent along with their expected land rates online till June 30, 2026. She said around 50 farmers and landowners attended the camp and raised various queries regarding compensation rates, payment procedures, land measurement, future development plans and connectivity of the proposed sectors.
“We wanted clarity on how the rates will be finalised and whether farmers will receive payments on time,” said Binder, a landowner. “Many farmers are willing to support development, but they also want fair compensation according to market value,” said Satnam Singh, another landowner.
Aditi said they answered all questions raised by the participants and encouraged them to upload their consent and proposed rates on the portal within the stipulated time. She also said another awareness camp would be organised on May 19 in the Kailash area to interact with more landowners.
