The Indian urban development landscape has become increasingly complex due to the expansion of cities and the "Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act of 2013". This has led to the need for optimal land development mechanisms that provide land-owners with
valuation gains and funding without relying on government tax resources. Currently, several mechanisms exist for urban land development in India, but the number of studies is low in India. This study compares and evaluates these mechanisms, analyzing land development laws, rules, and policies of Indian cities. The
findings reveal that existing land policies share common approaches, but their mechanisms and frameworks differ, leading to the selection of different development models. The study also highlights the lack of an integrated approach to land development, which is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings of this study could assist urban planning consultants and development authorities in structuring their land development policies.
