Gurugram, Nov. 14 -- The Gurugram land acquisition office on Friday announced compensation ranging from Rs.4.92 crore to Rs.8.25 crore per acre for land being acquired for the first phase of the Greater Southern Peripheral Road (GSPR), prompting objections from landowners who said the rates were below prevailing circle rates. The first phase will connect Gurugram-Faridabad Road with Gurugram-Sohna Road, while the second will extend to Delhi-Jaipur highway near Manesar. The award fixes compensation at Rs.5.26 crore per acre in Behrampur, Rs.4.96 crore in Ullawas, Rs.4.92 crore in Kadarpur, Rs.6.17 crore in Maidawas, Rs.5.19 crore in Dhumaspur and Rs.8.25 crore in Badshahpur. Officials said about 160 acres would be acquired on behalf of Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), with compensation totalling Rs.986 crore. About 116 acres required for the road have been transferred through transferable development rights. Land acquisition officer Rakesh Saini said rates were calculated using pre-2013 land registrations, with the base value doubled and 730 days' interest added under the 2013 acquisition policy. He said the committee considered the average of the 50 highest-value deeds among 100 registrations before 2013 to arrive at rates for compensation. Notices were issued in 2013, but litigation delayed acquisition until a high court stay was lifted last year. Officials said interest was excluded for the period covered by the court stay....
