TDR brokerage · India
Buy and sell TDR with verified counterparties.
An independent brokerage platform for Transferable Development Rights. DRC holders list their TDR; builders and developers post what they need. We verify, match, and coordinate the transfer end to end.
We are a facilitator — not the issuing authority. Every transfer is completed through the parties' own advocates and architects, under the applicable development control rules.
The basics
What is TDR?
Transferable Development Rights, explained in plain language.
When a municipal corporation or planning authority takes part of a plot for a public purpose — such as a road widening, garden, or public amenity — or restricts what can be built on it (for example because of heritage status or a reservation), the owner can be compensated with development rights instead of cash.
These rights are recorded in a Development Rights Certificate (DRC), which reflects the built-up area the owner is entitled to for what was lost.
The holder can use that built-up area on another eligible plot, or sell it to builders and developers. Builders use TDR to construct additional floor area beyond the base FSI of their receiving plot — always subject to the applicable development control regulations, such as UDCPR in Maharashtra or DCPR in Mumbai.
The life of a TDR
- A
Land surrendered or restricted
Part of a plot goes to a road, garden, or amenity — or development is restricted.
- B
DRC issued
The authority issues a Development Rights Certificate to the owner.
- C
DRC transferred
The holder sells the rights to a builder, with endorsement by the authority.
- D
TDR utilised
The builder loads the TDR on an eligible receiving plot, as the rules permit.
Heritage TDR
Generated where development on a heritage property is restricted, so the unused potential can be used or sold elsewhere.
Slum TDR
Generated through eligible slum rehabilitation schemes and used by developers on other plots under the applicable rules.
General examples only. How TDR is generated, transferred, and utilised depends on the issuing authority and the regulations that apply to each plot.

FAQ
Common questions
Short answers to what sellers and builders usually ask first. For your specific case, speak with your advocate or architect.
What is TDR?
Transferable Development Rights (TDR) are development rights granted by a planning authority — recorded in a Development Rights Certificate (DRC) — when land is surrendered for a public purpose or development on it is restricted. The rights can be used on another eligible plot or sold, subject to the applicable regulations.
Who can buy TDR?
Typically builders, developers, and landowners who want to use additional floor area on a receiving plot where the local development control rules permit TDR to be utilised. Eligibility depends on the plot's zone, location, road width, and other conditions — your architect should confirm it for your plot.
How is the price decided?
TDR pricing is market-driven. It is agreed between the seller and the buyer and can vary with location, TDR type, demand, and the rules that apply to utilisation. We help with price discovery, but we do not set or guarantee prices.
What documents are needed?
Requirements vary by authority, but commonly include:
- Sellers: the DRC, title and ownership documents, and identity proof
- Builders: receiving-plot details, approved or proposed plans, and the architect's eligibility assessment
- Both: the transfer agreement and any forms the issuing authority requires for endorsement
How long does a transfer take?
It depends on the issuing authority, how complete the documents are, and how quickly endorsement and utilisation approvals are processed. We'll give you a realistic view once we understand your case — we don't promise fixed timelines.
Do you issue TDR or give legal advice?
No. We are an independent facilitator. TDR is issued by the planning authority, and legal and technical advice should come from your own advocate and architect. We connect the parties, support verification, and coordinate the process.
Important
- TDR transfers are subject to the issuing authority's rules and to DRC endorsement and utilisation approval.
- Buyers should independently verify DRC authenticity, encumbrances, and receiving-plot eligibility with their own advocate and architect.
- We are an independent facilitator — not the issuing authority — and we do not provide legal advice.
- We do not guarantee approvals, timelines, or pricing.
