G.O.(Ms.)No.74, Construction of 108 flats at Sampath Nagar and Periyiar Nagar, Erode District, Dropped
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development (HB3(1)) Department issued G.O.(Ms.)No.74 dated 22 May 2025, dropping the approved construction of 108 residential flats at Sampath Nagar and Periyar Nagar, Erode District, at a cost of Rs.37.59 crore under the Self Financing Scheme. It reverses the earlier administrative sanction for that scheme, while a separate Public Private Partnership project at Sampath Nagar remains under study.
What the government has decided
G.O.(Ms.)No.74 dated 22 May 2025, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development (HB3(1)) Department, directs the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to drop the Self Financing Scheme for 108 residential flats at Sampath Nagar and Periyar Nagar in Erode District. The scheme had an approved cost of Rs.37.59 crore and arose from an announcement made for 2021-2022.
The original administrative sanction was granted through G.O.(Ms.)No.121 dated 12 November 2021. G.O.(Ms.)No.74 accepts the Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's request to discontinue that project.
Reason for the change
The Government of Tamil Nadu reconsidered how development at Sampath Nagar should proceed. It decided to explore a Joint Venture or Public Private Partnership model instead of continuing only with the earlier Self Financing Scheme.
A separate proposal was announced for a multi-storied building containing a commercial complex and 108 residential flats with modern amenities. That proposal covers an extent of 3.471 acre at Sampath Nagar, Erode District, and is intended to be implemented through the Public Private Partnership model.
In-principle administrative approval for the Public Private Partnership work was granted through G.O.(Ms.)No.165 dated 20 September 2024. A work order was issued to M/s. Cushman & Wake field, Chennai, on 28 January 2025, and the market study was in progress when G.O.(Ms.)No.74 was issued.
Who may be affected
G.O.(Ms.)No.74 directly affects people following the earlier Tamil Nadu Housing Board proposal for 108 Self Financing Scheme flats at Sampath Nagar and Periyar Nagar. That specific approved project will not proceed in its announced form.
The document does not provide information about applications, allotments, payments, refunds or individual purchaser claims. It also does not approve sales under the separate Public Private Partnership proposal.
