Common questions about Right of Use acquisition for pipeline projects in India.
Right of Use (RoU) acquisition is the legal process under the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User in Land) Act, 1962, through which pipeline companies obtain the right to lay, maintain, and operate pipelines through private and government land without purchasing the land outright. The landowner retains ownership but grants usage rights for the pipeline corridor.
The RoU acquisition process typically takes 6–18 months depending on pipeline length, number of affected landowners, terrain complexity, and government notification timelines. HRP Infra's systematic approach and established relationships with revenue authorities help significantly expedite the process.
Landowners receive compensation based on the government circle rate (jantri) value, crop damage assessment, and additional solatium as per applicable guidelines. The compensation covers the Right of Use without transferring land ownership, and payments are processed after proper verification of revenue records and title documents.
