Infrastructure development is a crucial factor in driving a country’s economic progress. India, being a developing nation that aims for becoming a $ 5 trillion economy, possesses a substantial potential for infrastructure development that will fuel its economic growth. This importance is realised by Government of India (GOI) which is evident in its ambitious infrastructural objectives such as building national highway network of two lakh km by 2025, increasing the number of airports to two hundred twenty and establishing thirty-five Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs),etc. Land is an essential requirement for the development of infrastructure and to accomplish the objectives of rapid infrastructure development, it is important to assemble land at a rapid pace. Thus, it becomes crucial to understand the process and techniques of land assembly that are followed in India. Hence, this paper describes the various land assembly techniques that are implemented in India in addition to compulsory land acquisition and presents a comparative analysis of their merits and demerits.
