The Urban Development Department of the state government, in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), has decided to launch India's first integrated digital TDR system, e-TDR system, from April 15, 2026.
What is TDR?
When land is acquired from an owner for public projects (roads, parks, infrastructure), he is given Development Rights (TDR) instead of direct financial compensation. These rights are available in the form of Development Rights Certificate (DRC). The owner can use or sell these rights himself.
Objective of e-TDR system
This digital system has been designed to make TDR transactions more transparent, secure and fast. Registration on this platform will be mandatory for buyers and sellers. Also, transactions related to reserved plots and FSI will also be facilitated through it.
How will the transaction take place?
Registered users can list TDRs for sale by logging into the portal. Buyers can bid directly. After the transaction is finalized, the entire payment will be made digitally. The TDR will be credited to the buyer's account and the seller will get the money. After that, a digital contract called ‘Contract Note’ will be created, which will be legally valid.
Security and Features
What are the benefits?
According to Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide, the new e-TDR system will eliminate the delays, opacity and difficulties in matching buyers and sellers in the old TDR system.
It is expected that this system will make urban development in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) more efficient, transparent and citizen-centric.
