G.O. (Ms.) No. 233, Construction of MIG Flats at Mogappair East, 2024
The Housing and Urban Development (HB3(1)) Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 233 on 4 December 2024, granting in-principle administrative sanction for the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to construct only Middle Income Group flats at Mogappair East under a Self Financing Scheme. The project is sanctioned at a cost of Rs.37.53 crore, excluding land cost, but construction can proceed only after the Tamil Nadu Housing Board approves the revised design and unit count, and more than 70% of the units receive provisional bookings with first instalments.
What the government has approved
The Housing and Urban Development (HB3(1)) Department granted in-principle administrative sanction for a Tamil Nadu Housing Board residential project on land in Survey No. 271/2 part, Mogappair East, Mogappair Village, Ambattur Taluk, Chennai District.
The approved project must consist entirely of Middle Income Group flats and will operate under the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's Self Financing Scheme. The approved project cost is Rs.37.53 crore, excluding the cost of the land.
Change from the original proposal
The Tamil Nadu Housing Board originally submitted a Detailed Project Report for 42 High Income Group flats in a stilt plus seven-floor building. The Board approved that proposal through Resolution No. 5.04 dated 27 December 2023. A market study was later undertaken by Knight Frank Consultancy following Board Resolution No. 4.01 dated 11 July 2024.
After examining the proposal, the Government decided that the Tamil Nadu Housing Board should serve Middle Income Group needs rather than High Income Group needs. The in-principle sanction therefore requires 100% Middle Income Group flats instead of the proposed 42 High Income Group flats.
Conditions before the project proceeds
G.O. (Ms.) No. 233 places the following conditions on the Tamil Nadu Housing Board:
- The design must be revised for a Middle Income Group housing project.
- The number of flats that can be built within the approved amount must be determined.
- The Tamil Nadu Housing Board must approve the revised design and number of flats before the project begins.
- Public applications must first be invited for provisional allotment.
- Procurement can proceed only when more than 70% of the units have been provisionally booked and the applicants have paid the first instalment.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 233 is relevant to people interested in applying for Tamil Nadu Housing Board Middle Income Group housing at Mogappair East. It is also relevant to professionals tracking proposed development on Survey No. 271/2 part in Mogappair Village.
The document does not fix the final number of flats, allotment price, application period or construction schedule. Those details must follow the revised design, Board approval and provisional booking process.
