The new ordinance will incorporate the nine amendments made in the land acquisition bill in Lok Sabha last month.
As per procedure, the Cabinet's recommendation will now go to the President for reissuing of ordinance.
The Centre is faced with a deadline of April 5 when the ordinance will lapse. Rajya Sabha was prorogued on Saturday to pave the way for the ordinance to be reissued since an ordinance cannot be issued when both Houses are in session. Parliament was convened in February.
The land law is stuck in a bitter confrontation between the government and the opposition led by Congress which also controls Rajya Sabha.
The Centre will make another attempt to get it past the upper House when Parliament reconvenes for the second leg of the budget session on April 20.
All eyes are on the government's efforts to win over some of the parties opposed to the new land bill since it is the only way to surmount the Rajya Sabha hurdle in its enactment.
Congress has made it plain that it would not relent its opposition, evident in its decision to hold a farmers' rally in the capital on the eve of resumption of Parliament to pile pressure on the government.
