What land is being acquired and where
The project is a rail connectivity project of TIDCO in Tiruvallur district. All the land covered by the notices lies in Ponneri taluk.
The notices cover 197 survey numbers spread over 3 villages. The acquisition is being made under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997, and the notices are published in the State Gazette.
The count of 197 refers to survey numbers listed in the notices. A notice may cover a whole survey number or only part of it, so check the extent shown against your own survey and subdivision number.
The notices and their present stage
The first notification is dated 20 April 2026 and covers all 3 villages. The second notification is dated 24 August 2026 and covers 1 village.
Neither notification has been withdrawn, and neither has been recorded as corrected later. No notice for this project has been fully withdrawn.
Under the 1997 Act, the Government may acquire land needed for an industrial purpose by publishing a notice under section 3(1) in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Before that notice, the owner is to be given an opportunity to show cause against the acquisition. The Act provides that once the section 3(1) notice is published, the land vests in the Government free from encumbrances.
The facts available here do not show the stage of compensation, possession or any later proceedings. Confirm the current position with the office of the District Collector, Tiruvallur, or the Tahsildar, Ponneri.

What to do if your land is listed
Get a copy of the Gazette notification and compare the village, survey number, subdivision and extent with your patta, chitta and adangal. Match the boundaries on the FMB sketch as well.
Keep your title documents, encumbrance certificate and tax receipts ready. Compensation is paid to the person shown to have the interest in the land, so the revenue records should be in order.
If you are buying land in these villages, ask the seller for a written statement on whether the survey number appears in either notification. Verify it yourself at the Ponneri Taluk office before you pay any advance. Land that has vested in the Government under the Act cannot be validly sold by the former owner.
If you have a dispute about extent, ownership or compensation, take advice from a lawyer who handles land acquisition matters, and act promptly.
