In a massive catalyst for regional economic growth and industrial modernization in northern Bihar, the Vaishali district administration has accelerated its land acquisition drive for the expansion of the Hajipur Industrial Corridor. In an official briefing held on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, District Magistrate Varsha Singh confirmed that physical possession of an aggregate 485.50817 acres across eight distinct mauzas (revenue villages) has officially been transferred to the nodal acquiring agency, the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA), Patna. Backed by proactive on-ground settlement camps designed to avert litigation, the administration has successfully processed and disbursed a staggering ₹316 crore directly into the accounts of approximately 3,800 landowning tenants (raiyats), ensuring transparent and swift compensation delivery for project-affected families.
Phase-Wise Land Handover: Breaking Down the First 485.5 Acres Across 8 Mauzas
The ambitious land consolidation initiative targets a grand total of 1,234.42497 acres distributed across 11 rural mauzas to construct a modern manufacturing and manufacturing-support hub in Hajipur:
First Tranche Handover (October 3): During the initial phase, administrative teams formally transferred 159.46515 acres spanning five mauzas directly to BIADA representatives. This tranche comprised 34.66460 acres in Chakhudhudpur, 23.17140 acres in Mohiuddinpur Garahi, 21.47520 acres in Vilandpur Dhandhua, 24.47395 acres in Tajpur Raje alias Bhorhan, and 55.68000 acres in Rampur.
Second Tranche Handover (October 21): Scaling up operations on Wednesday, the administration completed physical handover of another 326.04302 acres from three large mauzas: 197.35327 acres located in Tal Salaha, 79.25000 acres situated in Mohanpur Bakhri, and 49.43975 acres situated in Bhadwas.
Cumulative Milestone Achieved: Combining both tranches, precisely 485.50817 acres across eight designated revenue zones now sit firmly under BIADA custody for rapid infrastructure zoning, boundary construction, and industrial plot allotment.
Final Acquisition Target: Remaining 748.9 Acres to be Transferred by October 31
District authorities have enacted a strict, time-bound roadmap to bring the remaining chunk of industrial acreage under state control before month-end:
Pending Mauza Enclaves: The final leg of the acquisition involves 748.9167 acres situated across the three remaining mauzas of Bahsi Damodar, Bahsi Saidpur, and Jafarpatti.
Binding Deadline: DM Varsha Singh outlined that field revenue teams and survey units are working in coordination with local village heads, having slated the tentative date for final physical possession handover to BIADA as October 31, 2026.
Total Acreage Impact: Once the final parcel is handed over, the integrated industrial complex will surpass 1,234 contiguous acres, creating one of the largest planned manufacturing and logistics corridors in the state.
₹316 Crore Disbursed at Camp Speed: 3,800 Landowners Compensated Directly
To safeguard farmers' livelihoods and eradicate bureaucratic bottlenecks, the administration established special on-site grievance and settlement camps:
Massive Claim Inflow: The district land acquisition office received formal compensation claims from roughly 4,900 titleholders representing an expanse of around 600 acres of land.
Swift Financial Disbursement: After rigorous verification of title deeds, revenue records, and family lineage papers at local settlement camps, approximately 3,800 verified tenants have already received their statutory payout, tallying to ₹316 crore.
Processing Balance Claims: Dedicated revenue tribunals are actively processing the balance documentation for remaining land claimants to guarantee that every affected agricultural family receives full financial compensation before industrial construction begins on site.
