The Housing and Urban Development Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 128 dated 12 November 2021, granting administrative approval for the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to develop 125 plots in the Sholinganallur project areas of Chennai district. The approved estimated cost is Rs. 7.54 crore, excluding land cost, and is to be met from Tamil Nadu Housing Board funds.
What the approval covers
G.O. (Ms.) No. 128 dated 12 November 2021 authorises the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to undertake plot development in three locations within the Sholinganallur project areas of Chennai district. The total administrative approval covers 125 plots at an estimated cost of Rs. 7.54 crore, excluding the cost of land.
The approval follows a proposal submitted by the Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board had also approved the proposal in its agenda dated 20 October 2021.
Project breakdown
G.O. (Ms.) No. 128 divides the 125 plots and estimated expenditure as follows:
- Sholinganallur Project Area II, 27 residential plots and one commercial plot, covering 1.95 acres. This component has 28 plots and an estimated cost of Rs. 2.89 crore.

Required financial review
G.O. (Ms.) No. 128 makes the administrative approval conditional on a detailed estimate being prepared and examined by a subcommittee of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board that includes a Finance Department member. This review must take place before tenders are invited or funds are sanctioned.
The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board is directed to take appropriate action under the approval. The government order records that it was issued with the concurrence of the Finance Department.
Relevance to buyers and owners
G.O. (Ms.) No. 128 concerns government approval and financing for development of residential and commercial plots in specified Sholinganallur project areas. It does not provide plot prices, application procedures, allotment eligibility, sale dates or buyer payment terms. Anyone interested in obtaining one of these plots would therefore need separate information from the Tamil Nadu Housing Board.
