It has become necessity rather than luxury for the BDA to acquire the buildings new or old to widen the roads. It is part of the development of Bangaluru city. Citizens have to co-operate. The landowners/house owners have a say in determining quantum of compensatin, which is more than enough to purchase luxurious apartment. The following material enlighten you on this issue.

The new land acquisition law that came into force on January 1 has sweetened the deal for landlords who may have to give up a portion of their property or land for public sector infrastructure projects in Bangalore city.
Sample this: If a commercial property of 2,000 sqft is to be acquired on MG Road for the Metro project, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) has to fix an average compensation price of Rs 27,000 per sqft, considering that the current market value ranges between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 per sqft.
In such a case, the land or property owner will get a compensation of Rs 54,000 per sqft, as the rules stipulate that property price should be doubled when acquired. "The land owner can also dispute the market value fixed by the executing agency at an appropriate platform exclusively set up by the government by providing documentary evidence, and hold discussions as stipulated under the new Act," explained a senior official of the revenue department.
"The new law will be helpful for farmers in some ways. The compensation package to offer four times the market value in rural areas is a significant step. It will ensure that land losers build new lives and lead a decent life. The rider that the land should not be acquired if farmers don't give their consent is also a positive step," said farmer leader Kurbur Shanthakumar.

The concept of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) to compensate land owners for the loss of land area acquired by the government for a public cause -- construction of roads or other infrastructure -- may also eventually become redundant, say officials.
With the new law in the offing, a whole range of infrastructure projects in the pipeline, including road widening, construction of underpasses and flyovers and elevated expressways may certainly face less opposition.
But there is a rider: The new land acquisition Act says the new rules will be optional in case of acquisition of less than 50 acres of land in cities and 100 acres in rural areas. "The TDR has to be attractive to ensure land owners opt for TDR (land for land compensation) rather than cash compensation. Otherwise, we may be forced to opt for the new law," said a BBMP official engaged in the land acquisition process.
