The government is eyeing nearly 18 lakh acres of land — or nearly five times the area of Delhi — available with various state-run companies, to quickly get manufacturing and infrastructure projects off the ground.
"The idea is that since land acquisition is a very long-drawn process, we can identify the land available and then match it with the requirements of a new project," said a senior official of the ministry of heavy industries and public enterprises.
The government has already identified around 12 state run companies that are no longer operational but have surplus land that can be used.
How is this going to help ???
I guess land owned by PSU can be acquired by private companies on market rate. This is a lot easier than acquiring land from farmers.How is this going to help ???

In a departure from the past, the government today split the post of Chairman and Managing Director for PSU banks and named MD-and-CEOs of four banks including United and Oriental Bank of Commerce.
For the first time, PSU banks will have a non-Executive Chairman, giving operational responsibility to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
"The procedure for selection of part-time Chairman would be announced shortly," said a Finance Ministry statement.
The growth rate of eight core sector industries rose to five-month high of 6.7 per cent in November on the back of better output in coal, refinery products, electricity and cement.

NEW DELHI: The Finance Ministry is expecting an improvement in the fiscal position in January-March quarter on a likely pick up in tax revenue realisation, receipts from spectrum auction and stake sale of PSUs.
"Fiscal deficit will not be an issue as 50 per cent of the tax revenue usually comes in the fourth quarter. We are also expecting revenues from spectrum auction and disinvestment to come in the fourth quarter," sources said.
The government's fiscal deficit for April-November, the first eight months of the current financial year ending March 2015, touched 98.9 per cent, or Rs 5.08 lakh crore, of the Budget estimate. The fiscal deficit in 2014-15 is estimated to be at Rs 5.31 lakh crore or 4.1 per cent of the GDP.
The fiscal deficit had stood at 93.9 per cent of the Budget estimates in April-November of 2013-14 fiscal.
