India’s cabinet has approved changes in titling law that will make ownership of land more transparent, in a move that could eventually make it easier for industrial projects to acquire land and also reduce the quantum of litigation related to the subject that is clogging up the country’s legal system. The main focus of the amendments is on transparency and digitization that will help establish land ownership, which, in India, is a complex issue given the lack of documentation and the absence of contemporary land records.
