Authorities have decided that industrial plots involved in ongoing legal disputes will be excluded from the revised guidance value framework, ensuring that only clear, marketable land is factored into valuation exercises. This move addresses concerns that disputed land artificially inflates or distorts average land pricing in industrial zones. By segregating encumbered plots, regulators aim to present a more accurate, risk-adjusted view of land values to investors. It also ensures that pricing benchmarks reflect real, transaction-ready assets rather than problematic or frozen properties. This decision is expected to improve the credibility and reliability of the new guidance revisions.

Plots facing title disputes, encroachments, regulatory non-compliance, or court-imposed restrictions will be flagged and excluded until all legal issues are resolved. Once cleared, these plots may be reintroduced into subsequent valuation rounds after certification of legal readiness. This structured exclusion policy protects potential buyers from inadvertently engaging with contested properties and prevents developers from inflating land inventories through non-viable listings. Financial institutions also welcome this move, as clean title histories are critical for project financing and collateralization. Clear separation of disputed plots supports healthier and faster land market turnover.

This reform reflects a broader effort toward building more transparent and investor-friendly industrial real estate ecosystems. Accurate guidance values tied only to legally unencumbered plots will enable better investment decision-making, fairer taxation, and smoother registration processes. It also encourages landowners to resolve disputes quickly to benefit from future market opportunities. Regulators are expected to maintain updated public listings of disputed and clean plots to enhance market clarity. Ultimately, the exclusion of disputed industrial plots from valuation exercises is a critical step in professionalizing land management practices and boosting long-term industrial corridor competitiveness.
