What the notification does
Notification No. VI(1)/244(a-1)/2026, published by the Commissioner of Land Administration, Chepauk, Chennai, on 20 April 2026, is an acquisition notice under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. It records the Governor of Tamil Nadu's acquisition of approximately 25.5485 hectares for TIDCO Northern Rail Connectivity.
The Government of Tamil Nadu states that it is satisfied that the scheduled lands are needed for this industrial purpose. It also states that compensation for the acquired lands will be paid from funds controlled or managed by the Managing Director, TIDCO.
Land covered
The supplied schedule covers land in Ponneri Taluk, Tiruvallur District, including:
- Nalloor Village, Unit No. 01, Block No. 01.
- Nallur 2(R) Village.
- Vayaloor 3(R) Village.
For each listed property, the schedule provides some or all of the following information:

- Total extent of the survey field.
- Extent being acquired in hectares.
- Classification as wet or dry land.
- Structures located on the acquired portion.
- Trees located on the acquired portion.

Some entries cover only part of a survey field, marked as “Pt”. Recorded features include shrimp farms, an old building, a compound wall, high tension towers and several types of trees. The supplied source text ends during the Vayaloor 3(R) Village schedule, so it does not reproduce the entire 35 page gazette here.
Who should check it
Owners, interested persons and prospective buyers of land in the listed villages should compare the property's exact survey and subdivision number with the gazette schedule. A village name alone is not enough because the acquisition applies to specifically listed fields and, in many cases, only specified portions of those fields.
