Exempting the Waste to Energy Project in Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation Under Public Private Partnership Mode for the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the Finance (Infrastructure Cell), issued G.O. Ms. No. 228 dated 17 September 2014, under which the Governor of Tamil Nadu exempted the Waste to Energy Project in Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation, proposed under public private partnership mode, from the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012. The exemption was granted because the Government had given administrative sanction for the project before that Act was enacted.
What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 228, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu through the Finance (Infrastructure Cell) on 17 September 2014, exempts one identified infrastructure project from the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012. The Governor of Tamil Nadu granted the exemption using the power conferred by Section 34 of that Act.
The exemption applies specifically to the Waste to Energy Project in Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation under public private partnership mode. The reason recorded in the notification is that the Government had already given administrative sanction for the project before the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012 was enacted.
Project covered
The Government of Tamil Nadu notification identifies the covered project as follows:
- It is a Waste to Energy Project.
- It is located within Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation.
- It is being undertaken under public private partnership mode.
- It had received administrative sanction before the enactment of the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012.
- It is exempt from the provisions of that Act.
The text does not extend the exemption to every waste to energy project, every municipal project or every public private partnership project. It names only the project in Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 228 directly concerns the Government and parties involved with the specified Waste to Energy Project in Tirunelveli Municipal Corporation. Its practical effect is that the project is not governed by the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012.
Property buyers, owners and professionals should note that the notification does not state any change to land ownership, land classification, planning permission, building approval or property registration. It also does not identify any survey number, street, village or parcel of land. A person reviewing property connected with the project area would therefore need other records to determine whether a particular property is involved.

The exemption was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, Part II, Section 2, as Notification No. II(2)/FIN/568(a)/2014. The Gazette issue is dated 17 September 2014 and records K. Shanmugam as Principal Secretary to Government.
