The HMDA covers a total area of 7,257 sq km within its

One of the primary tasks of the HMDA is to certify layouts
for commercial, residential, industrial, recreational, and other purpose. A
layout is a diagram showing how a particular area is split into roads, plots
parks and various other features.
An approval for layouts from the HMDA assures that the
land’s uses are in line with the master plan as well as the regulations for
zoning in the region. It also guarantees that the layout is provided with
infrastructure, such as drainage, water supply, electricity, and security.
