Karnataka's KIADB to Digitize Industrial Plot Allotments Within 100 Days
Karnataka's Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) announced plans to digitize all stages of industrial plot operations within 100 days using an Integrated Land Management System. The system will maintain 77 data fields per plot and integrate with existing e-governance platforms to improve transparency and reduce fraud. The initiative aims to eliminate past issues like duplicate compensation payments and reduce reliance on intermediaries across Karnataka's 224 industrial areas.
The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board will digitize its entire operational workflow—from land acquisition through plot allotment—within 100 days, according to Large and Medium Industries Minister M.B. Patil. The new Integrated Land Management System will track 77 data fields per industrial plot and provide instant access to information on allotments, industrial activity, investments, employment, farmer compensation, and court cases. The platform will integrate with the Rural Development Department's e-Swathu system to streamline services like e-Khata issuance. Officials have been directed to complete scanning of allotment records across all 224 industrial areas within one month, after which data will be transferred to the e-governance department for customized software development. The initiative addresses longstanding record management problems, including documented cases of duplicate compensation payments for the same land parcels, and aims to enhance transparency while reducing dependence on intermediaries.
