जग्गा हदबन्दी नीतिका कारण रियल इस्टेट संकटमा, सुधारको मागReal Estate Sector in Nepal Faces Crisis Due to Land Ceiling Policy
नेपालको आर्थिक विकास र रोजगारीमा महत्वपूर्ण योगदान दिँदै आएको व्यवस्थित घरजग्गा व्यवसाय (रियल इस्टेट) नीतिगत जटिलताका कारण संकटमा परेको व्यवसायीहरूले बताएका छन्।
व्यवसायीका अनुसार २०७६ सालदेखि लागू भएको जग्गा हदबन्दी व्यवस्थाले कम्पनीलाई ३० रोपनीभन्दा बढी जग्गा राख्न नपाउने र बढी जग्गा बिक्रीमा रोक लगाउने नियमले व्यवसाय प्रभावित भएको छ।
घरजग्गा क्षेत्र ठप्प हुँदा सिमेन्ट, डण्डी उद्योगदेखि बैंकिङ कर्जा र रोजगारीसम्म प्रत्यक्ष असर परेको उनीहरूको भनाइ छ। साथै, धेरै ग्राहकले भुक्तानी गरिसके पनि जग्गा पास नपाएको समस्या पनि देखिएको छ।
व्यवसायीहरूले आगामी बजेटमार्फत हदबन्दी नियम खुकुलो बनाउँदै रियल इस्टेट क्षेत्रलाई सहज बनाउने माग गरेका छन्।
Nepal’s organized real estate sector, which has been contributing significantly to economic growth and employment generation, has reportedly fallen into crisis due to policy complications, according to business stakeholders.
The sector, operating regularly for the past three decades, has supported thousands of jobs and played a key role in economic activity. However, entrepreneurs say that the land ceiling regulation introduced in 2019 has created major obstacles for the industry.
Under the current rule, companies are not allowed to hold more than 30 ropanis of land, and any excess land cannot be freely traded. Business operators argue that land serves as their main operational stock, and restricting it has disrupted the entire business cycle.
They further claim that the slowdown in real estate has negatively impacted related industries such as cement and steel, while also affecting employment for both skilled and unskilled workers, including engineers.
Developers also say that bank-financed projects are under pressure as they are unable to sell land or complete transfers, forcing them to continue paying interest on loans. In many cases, buyers who have already paid in full have not yet received ownership transfers, creating financial and legal uncertainty.
Stakeholders have urged the government to address the issue through the upcoming budget, calling for a more flexible land ceiling policy to support urban development and revive the real estate sector.
