As on date, large tracts of vacant land are available with the Central ministries, especially the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Identification and strategically planned absorption of such unproductive land, with earmarking for affordable housing, would address the key need of the hour, pertaining to unlocking of land at appropriate locations. Land available with certain loss-making PSEs, such as HMT Bearings in Hyderabad, Hindustan Antibiotics in Pune, Heavy Engineering Corporation in Ranchi, Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in Gurgaon, Tungabhadra Steel Products in Karnataka and HMT Watches in Nainital, has already been identified. NBCC has been appointed as the land management agency to auction the real estate assets of loss-making companies.
