Hodal Masterplan
DGTCP-2031
Overview
The Hodal Masterplan 2031 land buying decision starts with one question: what zone is your survey number in? Prepared by the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DGTCP) Haryana under the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963, this plan governs land use across Hodal town in Palwal District. Hodal sits 88 km from Delhi on NH-2 (NH-19) and is classified as a Medium Potential Zone town under Haryana's urban hierarchy. This page covers the zone codes, CLU requirements, and the corridors where land values are actively moving.

The most misunderstood corridor is the highway-adjacent strip. Investors buy NH-2 frontage expecting residential colony approvals, but DGTCP policy treats this as an industrial-priority belt. Residential colony licenses here face a harder review, and the scrutiny timeline can stretch by months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check the zone of my plot under the Hodal Master Plan 2031?
Download the Final Development Plan 2031 map directly from tcpharyana.gov.in. Identify your survey number on the map. If your broker cannot locate your plot on this official map, do not proceed with any payment.
What is CLU, and when is it required in Haryana?
CLU (Change of Land Use) is mandatory before developing agricultural land for residential, commercial, or industrial use. In Hodal's controlled area, you must apply to the DGTCP Haryana with a Shajra plan, survey plan, and a ₹10 per sq. meter scrutiny fee.
Can a non-agriculturist buy agricultural land in Haryana?
Yes, but development is restricted. A non-agriculturist can hold agricultural land in Haryana but cannot build on it without a CLU. Haryana does not restrict ownership transfer to agriculturists alone, unlike Himachal Pradesh or Punjab.
Is DDJAY applicable in Hodal?
Yes. Hodal is listed as a Medium Potential Town under the Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana policy. Maximum plot size under the policy is 150 sq. meters, with an FAR of 2.0 and a minimum project area of 5 hectares.
What is a controlled area in Haryana, and how does it affect land use?
Any development within Hodal's notified controlled area requires DGTCP permission. Building without this permission violates the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963, and is liable to demolition.
Does the Hodal Development Plan 2031 have final notification status?
Yes. The Final Development Plan (FDP) for Hodal 2031 is notified and available on the DGTCP Haryana website. Verify that the version you are reviewing is the FDP, not the earlier Draft Development Plan (DDP).
What documents are needed for a CLU application in Haryana?
You need Form CLU-I, a survey plan (1:40 scale), the sale deed, Shajra plan, land utilisation plan, project report, and the scrutiny fee receipt. Submit to the District Town Planner, Palwal, who forwards the case to the DGTCP director.
