The sanctioned project cost is Rs.1,591 crore, covering housing for vulnerable communities, housing for urban poor and migrant workers, and regional planning support.
Purpose
Government Order (Ms.) No. 33 dated 28 March 2022 authorises implementation of the Inclusive, Resilient and Sustainable Housing for Urban Poor Sector Project at a total cost of USD 215 million, stated as Rs.1,591 crore. The project is expected to be completed by 31 August 2028.
What the project covers
The Inclusive, Resilient and Sustainable Housing for Urban Poor Sector Project has three main components:
- The Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board will construct housing at nine locations and relocate approximately 6,000 slum households that are vulnerable to natural hazards. The work also includes protecting cleared waterways against re-encroachment and restoring ecological functions at two pilot sites.
- The Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Fund Management Corporation Limited will provide risk capital to special purpose vehicles or other entities constructing affordable housing. The intended beneficiaries include people underserved by the housing market, low-income and migrant industrial workers, and working women. The expected additional capacity is approximately 500 beds for working women and 5,000 beds for industrial workers.
- The Directorate of Town and Country Planning will support regional planning that integrates existing and proposed development plans. The planning work is intended to address economic development, affordable housing, infrastructure, environmental protection, disaster risk management and gender.
Funding and implementation
The approved financing plan provides USD 150 million, stated as Rs.1,110 crore, through an Asian Development Bank regular loan. The Government of Tamil Nadu will provide counterpart funding of USD 65 million, stated as Rs.481 crore.
Project expenditure will be met from budgets allocated to the implementing agencies. Asian Development Bank reimbursements will be processed through the Project Monitoring Unit functioning under the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
Government Order (Ms.) No. 33 is an administrative and funding approval for a public housing and regional planning project. It does not identify the nine housing locations, list individual properties, alter ownership records or announce a land use change for any particular plot.
Property owners or buyers may need to follow later project or regional planning documents if their land is near a selected housing site, waterway restoration area or area covered by a future regional plan. Those site-specific details are not provided in Government Order (Ms.) No. 33.
