The Guwahati Satellite City Development Authority Act, 2026, establishes a specialized body to manage the planned growth of satellite cities within the Kamrup (Metropolitan) District and other notified areas in Assam. The Act empowers the Guwahati Satellite City Development Authority to create master plans, develop infrastructure, and regulate land use. It provides mechanisms for land pooling, acquisition, and the creation of integrated townships. For citizens, this law dictates how land can be developed, requires permissions for construction, and grants the Authority powers to penalize unauthorized building activities. It ensures that urban expansion is systematic, sustainable, and supported by necessary public amenities.
