What land is being acquired and where
The land is for the SIPCOT Marukalkurichi Industrial Park. All of it lies in Nanguneri taluk of Tirunelveli district.
The notifications cover 1,270 survey numbers spread over 2 revenue villages, Marukalkurichi and Srivara Mangaipuram. Marukalkurichi accounts for 1,016 of these survey numbers and Srivara Mangaipuram for 254.
The acquisition is being made under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. This is a State law. It is not the 2013 central Act, and it is not the National Highways Act, so there is no section 3A or section 3D procedure in this file.
The notices and their stage
In total, 14 notifications have been published in the State Gazette. The first is dated 19 February 2026 and the latest is dated 12 June 2026. Some cover both villages and some cover only one.
No notification has been withdrawn, either fully or in part, and none has been marked as corrected later. Every survey number that has been notified therefore remains under acquisition on the gazette record.
Under the 1997 Act, the Government first calls on owners and other interested persons to show cause, within 30 days, why their land should not be acquired. This is done under section 3(2). The Government then acquires the land by publishing a notice under section 3(1) in the Gazette. Under section 4, once the section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances.
Our record classes these 14 entries only as notifications under the 1997 Act. To know whether a particular entry is a show cause notice or a section 3(1) acquisition notice, read the gazette copy for your survey number. That tells you where your land stands.
Villages covered
Marukalkurichi, Nanguneri taluk, Tirunelveli district: 1,016 survey numbers notified. None has been withdrawn.
Srivara Mangaipuram, Nanguneri taluk, Tirunelveli district: 254 survey numbers notified. None has been withdrawn.
These 2 villages are the complete list for this project on our record. If your land is in any other village, it is not covered by these notifications.
What to do if your land is listed
Find your exact survey number and subdivision in the gazette notification. Do not rely on the village name alone. A notification often covers only part of a survey number, so check the subdivision and the extent stated.
Note the date and type of the notice that covers you. If it is a show cause notice and the 30 day period is still open, you may file your objections in writing before the authority named in the notice. Keep proof that you filed them.
Collect your title papers: patta, chitta, adangal, sale deeds and an encumbrance certificate. You will need these to claim compensation, and you will need to show you are the person entitled to it.
If you are buying land in Marukalkurichi or Srivara Mangaipuram, check every survey number against these notifications before you pay any advance. Once a section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests in the Government, and a later private sale does not give the buyer good title to it.
For the current position on any survey number, contact the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) or the Revenue Divisional Office handling this project, or the Nanguneri Taluk Office.
