What the government approved
G.O. (Ms.) No. 143 dated 31 October 2011 grants administrative sanction for two satellite inter-city bus terminals intended to reduce congestion at the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminal. The approved locations are vacant sites at Madhavaram and near the Velachery Rapid Transit System Station.
The Housing and Urban Development (UD3-1) Department accepted the proposal submitted by the Member-Secretary of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. The Finance Department concurred with the sanction.
Locations and proposed services
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority was authorised to plan and develop:
- A satellite inter-city bus terminal on about 8 acres of vacant land within the Madhavaram Bus and Truck Terminal, at an approximate cost of Rs.32,00,00,000.
- A satellite inter-city bus terminal on about 12 acres of vacant land within a 15 acre site near the Velachery Rapid Transit System Station, at an approximate cost of Rs.48,00,00,000.
- The Madhavaram terminal by shifting some bus services operating through GNT Road.
- The Velachery terminal by shifting some bus services operating through East Coast Road and Old Mahabalipuram Road.
The Velachery proposal forms part of a bus interchange with the Mass Rapid Transit System.
Funding and project preparation
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority may access funds under Infrastructure and Amenities Charges to plan and develop both terminals, following the approach used for the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminal.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority must also arrange feasibility reports for both projects. It may have consultants prepare the reports directly, or have them prepared through consultants by Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O. (Ms.) No. 143 identifies vacant sites within the Madhavaram Bus and Truck Terminal and near the Velachery Rapid Transit System Station for proposed public transport infrastructure. The document does not announce private land acquisition, change land-use controls, impose development restrictions, or record completion of either terminal. Buyers and owners near the identified sites may find the proposed terminal locations relevant, but the document itself only provides administrative sanction and arrangements for planning, funding and feasibility work.
