Owning a vacant site in coastal Andhra’s commercial capital is a smart long‑term play—but only if the land is still yours when you decide to sell or build. In 2024 alone, Vizag Police registered 191 individual land‑encroachment grievances from anxious owners—enough for officers to invoke the Preventive Detention Act against repeat grabbers. This surge pushed the State to table the Andhra Pradesh Land‑Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 2024, which prescribes 10–14 years in jail plus fines up to the market value of the property.

While the new law adds teeth, enforcement still hinges on fast evidence and relentless vigilance. That is exactly what Property Handling’s Plot & Land Monitoring Service delivers for NRIs, out‑station investors and busy locals who cannot stand guard in person.


Why Vizag Plots Need Full‑Time Guardianship

  • High Appreciation, High Temptation: Prime coastal yards on Beach Road now command ₹1 lakh–₹3 lakh per sq yd, while even inland hubs like Seethammadhara start near ₹50,000 per sq yd
  • Vacant‑Land Tax & Drone Eyes: GVMC already tracks 39,000 vacant plots and offers tax rebates only to owners who pay on time while simultaneously piloting drones to spot unauthorised activity in high‑growth zones such as Madhurawada.
  • Booming Construction Pressure: Rapid airport, IT‑park and port expansions are fuelling a building scramble—perfect cover for “overnight” fences or sheds on any unmonitored parcel.

In short, your soil is valuable, visible and vulnerable. Leaving it unprotected for months invites squatters who can erect a wall or file a forged title deed before you even hear rumours.
