Civil Lines, Kanpur: hospital land lease for eligible operators

An Indian-formed company, LLP, registered firm, trust, society or other legally constituted entity must be able to obtain the required hospital permissions. The applicant itself must have continuously operated a multi-specialty hospital with at least 200 beds in India for at least three years. For a joint venture, its lead member must hold at least 51% and satisfy that experience condition. A general individual-property eligibility rule is not a substitute for these specific operating requirements.

Submit formation and registration documents, the constitution or Memorandum and Articles as applicable, PAN, GST details where applicable, address proof, authorized-signatory or board authorization, and evidence of financial capacity. The project concept must explain proposed services, phased development, resources and operation. Supply the hospital licences, approved bed capacity and evidence of continuous operation for at least three years, plus the declaration concerning insolvency and blacklisting, EMD evidence and the portal’s required KYC. Joint ventures must establish the lead member’s share and qualifying experience.

Ownership of this nazul land remains with the Uttar Pradesh government. The bid document grants an initial 30-year lease. Two further terms of 30 years may be considered only with prior government approval and compliance with conditions. The advertisement’s 90-year description does not make renewal automatic. The highest bid needs KDA and prior government approval and creates no automatic allotment right.

The published reserve is ₹3,79,46,48,550 and EMD is ₹37,94,64,855. The reserved rate of ₹1,15,500 per sq m already includes a 10% corner component over the ₹1,05,000 base rate; do not add that corner charge again. A one-time lease fee of 5% of the accepted bid, stamp duty, registration, taxes and statutory/service costs are additional. Full accepted bid consideration and dues must be paid within 60 days of the allotment letter, with no extension. Default can cancel allotment and forfeit the full security/EMD.

Use is limited to a multi-specialty hospital and directly related approved activities. After possession following the executed lease, real construction under an approved plan must start within 12 months and the hospital must be completed and operational within five years. The document ties these requirements to the Allahabad High Court’s 5 October 2021 order in Writ-A No. 13256/2021. Breaching them will cancel the lease; the KDA Vice Chairman’s and government’s decision is final. The lessee obtains planning, fire, pollution-control, biomedical-waste and other statutory permissions and provides required services at its cost.

Inspect the site’s boundaries, access, encroachments, structures, services and legal/physical condition before bidding. The document says KDA will remove existing structures and retain the debris; it does not prove clearance is already complete. Actual area is subject to the approved plan and measurement. Sublease, transfer, assignment, mortgage or third-party rights require prior written permission; use changes require the stated government approvals. KDA retains inspection and enforcement rights. Section 10 says this allotment or transfer cannot be treated as a precedent for another offer.

The bid increase is ₹100 per sq m. The linked auction conditions require at least two bidders and three bids between them, and extend bidding by 30 minutes for bids in the final 10 minutes. The highest bidder withdrawing can lose registration money; ineligible applications, false statements, collusion or default can be rejected with forfeiture. Unsuccessful refunds follow approval and the portal rules; obtain a clear refund timeframe from KDA. Being declared the highest bidder creates no vested right to allotment. KDA may accept or reject bids, postpone or cancel the auction, or amend its terms under the applicable approvals. Its Vice Chairman’s and government’s orders are final and binding.

KDA’s hospital Bank Link opens the bidder login page at kdaauction.com/x-login. New applicants can choose Bidder Registration there. Match the 14/112 Civil Lines hospital event and complete the required eligibility review and EMD steps before 21 November, 5:00 PM IST. The public property list checked here did not establish this hospital’s payment record; confirm the event and credited-payment requirement with KDA at 0512-2556292–93 or kda@kdaindia.co.in before paying.
