What land is being acquired and where
The land is being taken for the Palladam Link Road, a state road connecting SH-163 to the Palladam Dharapuram Road.
All the land lies in Palladam taluk of Tiruppur district. The notices cover 142 survey numbers spread over 4 villages.
The acquisition is being made under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, and the notices have been published in the State Gazette. This is not a National Highways acquisition, so the procedure under the National Highways Act, 1956 does not apply here.
The notices and their present stage
Under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, the Government acquires land needed for a highway by publishing a notice in the Gazette under section 15(1). Once such a notice is published, the Act provides that the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances. In practical terms, a published notice is a serious step and not a mere proposal.
Three notices have been published for this project. The first notification, dated 31 May 2025, covered all 4 villages. A second notification, dated 15 October 2025, covered 1 village.
An errata dated 11 June 2026 corrected the first notification for 3 villages. An errata usually corrects details such as survey numbers, subdivisions, extents or names of owners. If your land is in one of these villages, read the first notification together with the errata.
As per the records available, no notice for this project has been withdrawn, either fully or in part. The records do not show the stage of possession, award or payment, and this page does not state any.
Villages covered
All 4 villages are in Palladam taluk, Tiruppur district. The figures below show the number of survey numbers listed in the notices for each village.
Vadugapalayam. The notices list 75 survey numbers in this village, the largest share of the project.
Panickampatty. The notices list 29 survey numbers in this village.
Madampoor. The notices list 23 survey numbers in this village.
Sitrambalam. The notices list 15 survey numbers in this village.
No survey number in any of these villages has been withdrawn from the acquisition as per the records.
What to do if your land is listed
Obtain copies of all three Gazette notices and check your survey number and subdivision against them. Do not rely on the survey number alone. Check the extent and the owner details as well, and check whether the errata of 11 June 2026 changed any entry for your land.
Keep your title documents, patta, chitta, adangal extract and encumbrance certificate in order. Compensation is paid to the person whose title is established before the acquiring authority, so gaps in title can delay payment.
Contact the land acquisition officer handling this project at the Tiruppur Collectorate or the Palladam Taluk Office. Ask about the date for filing claims, any enquiry fixed for your village, and the status of the award for your survey number.
If you are buying land in these villages, check every survey number against the notices before you pay any advance. Land covered by a published notice cannot be safely purchased as if it were free land. Consult a property lawyer before you proceed.
