Alteration of Nagapattinam Port Limits in Nagapattinam District under the Indian Ports Act, 1908 and Tamil Nadu Maritime Board Act, 1995, Amendment to Notification
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Highways and Minor Ports Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 65, Highways and Minor Ports (HM1), dated 7 June 2023, to amend the notified limits of Nagapattinam Port in Nagapattinam District. The amendment replaces the existing boundary entries for Nagapattinam with four specified latitude and longitude points.
What the notification does
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Highways and Minor Ports Department, through G.O. Ms. No. 65, Highways and Minor Ports (HM1), dated 7 June 2023, alters the notified limits of Nagapattinam Port. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using powers under the Indian Ports Act, 1908.
The notification amends Highways and Minor Ports Department Notification No. II(2)/HWMP/359/2009, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 22 July 2009, as subsequently amended.
Boundary points substituted
G.O. Ms. No. 65 replaces the entries in column (3) for entry number 8, identified as Nagapattinam, under the heading “Nagapattinam District”. The substituted port boundary is defined by these four coordinate points:
- Point 1: Latitude 10° 49’ 36” N, Longitude 79° 51’ 5.98” E.
- Point 2: Latitude 10° 49’ 36” N, Longitude 80° 05’ 30” E.
- Point 3: Latitude 10° 44’ 51” N, Longitude 80° 05’ 30” E.
- Point 4: Latitude 10° 44’ 51” N, Longitude 79° 51’ 5.98” E.
These coordinates form the substituted geographic limits for the Nagapattinam entry in the earlier notification.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 65 is relevant to buyers, owners and professionals who need to determine whether a location is within the notified limits of Nagapattinam Port. The document provides geographic coordinates, but it does not list individual properties, survey numbers, villages or ownership details.
Anyone assessing a particular property would therefore need to compare its location with the four notified coordinate points. The notification itself does not state that ownership, title, land classification or permitted land use is changed.

The amendment was published as Notification No. II(2)/HMP/552(a)/2023 in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 212, dated 7 June 2023. The document is signed by Pradeep Yadav, Additional Chief Secretary to Government.
