Change of Developer under DTCP Projects
A Change of Developer in DTCP-approved projects involves the legal transfer of development rights, responsibilities, and regulatory obligations from one developer entity to another. This process is governed by the DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning) and requires strict compliance with planning regulations, license conditions, and stakeholder disclosures.
Whether due to mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, or ownership disputes, any developer transition must be formally approved by DTCP. Legal documentation, no objection certificates, financial disclosures, and updated development plans are typically required to complete the transition lawfully and protect project continuity.
