The lessee will be given the lease rights and right to access the redevelopment land for constructing, designing, financing and vesting of the redevelopment assets. The selected developer will be consigned to obtain required permissions from the local authorities for the construction and will be supported to complete the construction of the developer part according to the local building by-laws in four years.

Indian Railways has about 43,000 hectares of vacant land over India. RLDA is currently managing 84 railway colony redevelopment projects and has lately leased out a railway colony in Guwahati for redevelopment.

RLDA has over 100 commercial (greenfield) sites across India for leasing, and the eligible developers for every site will be selected through an open and transparent bidding process.
