What the government order does
G.O.Ms.No.10 of the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (TC-I) Department reconstitutes the High Level Official Committee responsible for reviewing and monitoring major infrastructure projects in Tamil Nadu. The committee covers projects of the State and Central Governments costing more than Rs.100 Crores.
The government had originally constituted the committee under an order dated 13 August 1998. It was subsequently reconstituted under orders dated 2 December 2002 and 16 December 2008. G.O.Ms.No.10 establishes a further revised composition.

Projects covered
The High Level Official Committee classifies major infrastructure projects into the following groups for review:
- Industries.
- Highways and minor ports.
- Housing and urban development.
- Municipal administration and water supply.
- Public works.
- Energy.
The committee must meet once every two months to review the progress of works under these major infrastructure projects.
Administrative support
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Department acts as the convening department. The Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency coordinates preparation of review materials and helps the relevant departments update project progress through the e-Munnetram web portal.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O.Ms.No.10 does not state any change to land ownership, registration, planning permission or individual property rights. A property owner or buyer may encounter projects reviewed by the committee where a major government infrastructure project affects the surrounding area, but the document itself only establishes the monitoring arrangement.
