On the morning of 27/1, at its 31st specialized session, the Hanoi People's Council (HPC) approved a Resolution implementing Clause 4, Article 7 of National Assembly Resolution 258/2025, dated 11/12/2025. This document defines the scope, subjects, criteria, compensation levels, support, and resettlement for state land acquisition. Specifically, for projects stipulated in point (a), Clause 2, Article 1 of Resolution 258, the land compensation rate will be two times the standard regulation.

Previously, on 11/12/2025, the National Assembly passed Resolution 258/2025 on piloting special mechanisms and policies for implementing major, important projects in the capital area. These major, important projects are categorized into five types.

According to the city's Resolution, these projects are eligible for land compensation at two times the standard rate.
