What land is being acquired and where
The land is being acquired for the TIDCO Multi Modal Logistics Park, which is an industrial park project. All of the land lies in Tiruvallur taluk of Tiruvallur district.
The notices together cover 746 survey numbers spread over 6 villages. Some survey numbers may be covered only in part, so the extent of each holding must be checked in the notice itself.
The acquisition is being made under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. This is a state law, and the notices have been published in the Tamil Nadu state Gazette.
The notices and their stage
Five notifications have been published so far. They are dated 21 November 2025, 19 December 2025, 9 January 2026, 8 April 2026 and 20 April 2026.
The notice of 9 January 2026 covers three villages. Each of the other four notices covers one village.
None of these notices has been withdrawn, and none is recorded as having been corrected later.
Under the 1997 Act, the Government acquires land by publishing a notice under section 3(1) in the Gazette. Before that notice is published, the Act requires the owner and other interested persons to be called upon to show cause, within 30 days, why the land should not be acquired. Once a section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances.
The next practical stage is the determination and payment of compensation, followed by the taking of possession. Our records do not show the compensation stage or possession for this project, so owners should confirm the current position with the authority handling the acquisition.
Villages covered
Pinchivakkam has the largest number of survey numbers listed, at 278. Eraiyamangalam follows with 213 survey numbers.
Azhinchivakkam has 79 survey numbers listed, Hussain Nagaram has 75, Athigathur has 54 and Kadambattur has 47.
All six villages are in Tiruvallur taluk, Tiruvallur district. No survey number in any of these villages has been recorded as withdrawn.
What to do if your land is listed
First, check the Gazette notice for your village and match your survey number and subdivision exactly. A matching survey number does not always mean your entire holding is affected, so compare the extent given in the notice with your patta.
Collect your title papers: sale deeds, patta, chitta, adangal and a recent Encumbrance Certificate. These will be needed when you claim compensation.
Compensation under the 1997 Act is fixed by the authority handling the acquisition, and Tamil Nadu has amended the law so that compensation for such acquisitions follows the compensation schedules of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. We do not publish any figures for this project. Confirm the amount and the procedure with the District Collectorate, Tiruvallur, or the Special Tahsildar (Land Acquisition) for the project.
If you are a buyer, do not buy any land in these villages without checking whether the survey number appears in these notices. Land covered by a published acquisition notice vests in the Government, and a private sale after that will not give you good title to it.
If you believe your land has been included by mistake, or the extent is wrong, take advice from a lawyer promptly, as remedies at this stage depend on time limits and the exact facts.
