The Cabinet also decided to fix a floor rate of Rs 25 lakh per acre for areas covered under the final development plan of Faridabad-Ballabhgarh Controlled Areas-2011 and development plans of Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, Rewari, Dharuhera, Bawal and Panipat towns, excluding the areas forming part of the notified limits of the Faridabad Municipal Corporation. This particular pocket had not found mention in any of the five categories laid down under the original policy.

The Cabinet further revised the eligibility criterion for allotment of industrial plots in lieu of acquisition of land.

Under the revised norms, the size of the industrial plot to be allotted to any oustee has been linked to the area acquired from him. An industrial plot of 450 sq m would be allotted to the oustee if the land acquired from him was between one and two acres. For two and four acres, size would be 800 sq m and for any acquisition above four acres, the plot size would be around 1,000 sq m. The amendments will be applicable with effect from the date on which the R&R Policy came into force (i.e. September 7, 2010).
