NAGPUR: Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), a branch of Indian Railways, has issued a tender to lease up to 16 plots of land across India. The authority aims to generate around 1,904 crore rupees through the monetization of these plots of land.
One of the 16 sites currently being auctioned includes the commercial operation of the rail land at Amravati station from which the RLDA expects to generate Rs 25 crore.
Other sites include redevelopment of Lucknow Station, Ramgarh Tal settlement (Gorakhpur), land plots at Gomti Nagar (Lucknow), Moula Ali Flyover (Secunderabad), Boulevard Road settlement (Delhi) and land in Salt Golah (Howrah).
“The plots are strategically located in major cities across India and have the potential for residential and commercial development.
