Impressive. But I am afraid all these are built on farm land? Is it not? We got to manage our land otherwise we will run out of farm land and will be food importers. When we are dependent on outside forces to feed us, we will have no leverage.

while in theory that is true, it is also the case that India has the highest arable land in the world. whatever these townships are consuming will be rounding error in larger scheme of things.

by law, converting arable land to industrial land is such tedious process, conversion rate is very slow.

Navy Nagar Colaba is pvt property as well going by your definition & so are all the army barracks all over cities & towns in India .

What next in your book of definitions I wonder ?!
Ya'll Nibbiars Kadamba dosen't fall under any Muncipial Council or Municipal Corporation so it's Independent City like any other PSU one, most Cantonents boards are now under the existing Muncipiality or Muncipial Corporation, so you need to update that. Calaba Naval station under the MCGM mercy now.

It's a complete independent city out of Indian Administration and functioning like a private one within Navy's judiciations.

And independent city in your book is a private city as opposed to the universal definition of the word which is short hand for a city built owned & operated by a private enterprise as opposed to a public corporation or a local self government viz Jamshedpur

Ya'll Nibbiars PSU owned and operated are also private cities there is no difference in Public and private owned organizations cities here. It all about a city not under the Indian Administrative which includes both full private one and also semi ones like tha Kadamba.
