As he is earning his income in Singapore, obviously he will be liable to tax in Singapore.
No implications when he brings (sends) his income into India - so long as he is an NRI and is not a resident.
However, as and when he disposes of the land then the tax implication will trigger.

If an Individual’s income is chargeable to tax in more than one country, the
individual may claim benefit of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any) as
explained under chapter 5(b) “Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement”.
