What land is being acquired and where
The acquisition is for the Coimbatore Multi Modal Logistics Park, an industrial park project. All the land notified so far lies in Sulur taluk of Coimbatore district.
The notifications together list 222 survey numbers across two villages. Of these, 191 survey numbers are in one village and 31 are in the other.
The acquisition is being made by the State Government under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and the notifications appear in the state Gazette.
The notices and their stage
There are two notifications. The first is dated 1 April 2025 and the second is dated 21 April 2025. Each covers one village.
Neither notification has been withdrawn, and neither has been corrected by a later notification so far as the published records show.
Under the 1997 Act, the main step is a notice under section 3(1), by which the Government states that the land is required for an industrial purpose and acquires it. The Act provides that once such a notice is published, the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances. The owner is to be given an opportunity to show cause before the notice is issued.
Compensation under the 1997 Act is determined by the authorised officer through a separate process after the acquisition notice. Following amendments, compensation under this Act is to follow the principles of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The records available here do not state any award or compensation amount, so the current figure and stage must be confirmed with the land acquisition office.
The villages covered
The first village is Karavazhimadampoor.
It has 191 survey numbers listed, and none of them has been withdrawn.
The second village is Rasipalayam.
It has 31 survey numbers listed, and none of them has been withdrawn.
Both villages are in Sulur taluk, Coimbatore district. No other villages appear in these notifications.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain a copy of the Gazette notification covering your village and check your survey number and subdivision against your patta, chitta and adangal. The survey number count alone does not tell you whether your full holding or only part of it is affected.
Contact the land acquisition officer for the project, or the Sulur taluk office, to confirm the stage of your file and the procedure for claiming compensation. Keep your title deeds, patta, encumbrance certificate and any lease or mortgage papers ready, since claims are decided on proof of title and interest.
If you are buying land in these villages, check every survey number against both notifications before paying any advance. Land covered by a notice under section 3(1) of the 1997 Act vests in the Government, and a private sale after that does not give the buyer a clean title.
For any dispute on title, extent or compensation, take advice from a lawyer who practises in land acquisition matters, as the time limits and remedies depend on the exact stage of the proceedings.
