Quick Summary

While the idea of a private limited company leasing agricultural land for corporate farming is common, many Indian states, including Telangana, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka, actually prohibit this. There are specific exceptions for individuals like widows, disabled persons, and defence personnel. Kerala also has restrictions, though it's beginning to allow self-help groups to lease land.

Yes. The company may execute a lease deed.

No is the anser. States such as Telangana, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka ban land leasing with some exceptions to widows, disabled people, and defence personnel, among others. Kerala prohibits leasing of the land, but recently it has started allowing self-help groups (SHGs) to lease agricultural land.
