About Industrial land allotment (Ladakh Industrial Land Allotment Policy 2025-35)
The Ladakh Industrial Land Allotment Policy 2025-35 governs how plots in the territory's industrial estates are leased. Plots are not sold. They go to investors on lease through a draw of lots.
What you get
- A plot on lease, first for 30 years and extendable to 60
- Shares of the land in each estate are reserved: four-tenths for priority sector industries, a tenth for start-ups and a tenth for underprivileged sections
Who can apply
- All entrepreneurs in the service or manufacturing sector are eligible, with preference to local entrepreneurs
- An applicant can be an individual, partnership, company, LLP, cooperative or other incorporated body
- A Detailed Project Report prepared by a registered consultant is required
How selection works: Only applications cleared by the Single Window Clearance Committee enter the draw of lots.
How to apply: Respond to the department's land-availability advertisements, then apply online with the project report and the processing fee. The policy as notified in February 2025 names the District Industries Centre as the allotting agency, while a March 2026 order names Sindhu Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited instead. Check with the department which agency is advertising before you apply. Current vacancy is listed on its Leh and Kargil land-availability pages.
