Parandur Greenfield Airport, Chennai land acquisition: villages and survey numbers
Land for the Parandur Greenfield Airport, Chennai is being acquired under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, through 37 notices published in the state gazette between 22 October 2024 and 8 April 2026. The notices cover 7,291 survey numbers in 17 villages of Kancheepuram district, spread over Kancheepuram and Sriperumbudur taluks. None of these notices has been fully withdrawn.
The project is an airport, the Parandur Greenfield Airport, Chennai. All the land notified for it lies in Kancheepuram district.
The notified land falls in two taluks, Kancheepuram and Sriperumbudur. Across both taluks, 17 villages and 7,291 survey numbers appear in the notices.
Twelve of the villages are in Kancheepuram taluk and five are in Sriperumbudur taluk. Magadeevimangalam in Sriperumbudur taluk has the largest share, with 1,733 survey numbers.
The notices, the law and the present stage
Every notice for this project has been issued under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and published in the state gazette. This is a state law. The 2013 central Act procedure of Form IV and Form VI, and the National Highways Act procedure, do not apply to these notices.
Under section 3(1) of the 1997 Act, the Government publishes a notice in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette stating that the land is required for the specified purpose. Before that notice is published, the owner and other interested persons are to be called upon to show cause why the land should not be acquired. Under the Act, once the section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances.
The records available to us describe each of the 37 items as a notification under the 1997 Act. They do not state the section under which each one was issued. For that reason, read the gazette text for your village to see exactly what has been notified.
The first notice is dated 22 October 2024 and the latest notices are dated 8 April 2026. As of these records, none of the 37 notices has been fully withdrawn. Two notices, dated 3 March 2025 and 30 September 2025, were corrected later. If your land is in a village covered by either of those notices, read the correction together with the original.

What to do if your land is listed
First, confirm whether your survey number and subdivision appear in a notice. Obtain the gazette notice for your village and compare it with your patta, chitta and A register extract. Check the extent shown against your survey number, not only the survey number itself.
If a show cause notice has been served on you, respond in writing within the time it allows. Keep proof of what you filed and when.
For compensation, the amount for each holding is determined by the acquiring authority under the procedure of the 1997 Act, read with the Tamil Nadu amendment to the 2013 central Act. We do not publish figures. Confirm the award, and the stage reached for your land, with the land acquisition office handling the project, through the Kancheepuram Collectorate.
Buyers should take particular care. Before buying any land in these 17 villages, check every relevant survey number against the notices and the corrections. A sale deed does not undo an acquisition. Land that has vested in the Government cannot pass to a buyer, whatever the encumbrance certificate shows.
Villages and survey numbers
Each village with the survey numbers its notices name. A survey number that a later notice withdrew is marked.
Sub-divisions created by the acquisition may not be on the land records yet, so a notice often names the parent survey.

A gazette notice records that the government intends to acquire the land, or, for a national highway, a section 3D declaration
that the land now vests in the Central Government. A notice is not proof that the acquisition was completed: schedules are
corrected and sometimes withdrawn, and a notice can lapse. Before paying an advance on land in these villages, check the exact
survey number and confirm the current position with the Special District Revenue Officer (Land Acquisition) for the district.
