The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (Tidco) has sought administrative approval from the Chengalpet district collector to acquire 1,945.19 acres of both patta and government land across six villages in Maduranthakam taluk for the proposed Global City project, said Tidco Managing Director Sandeep Nanduri. This proposal follows the Tamil Nadu government’s 2025 Budget announcement to establish a 2,000-acre Global City near Chennai, featuring IT parks, trade zones, residential areas, recreational facilities, and next-generation urban infrastructure. In its submission, Tidco has pledged to fund land acquisition and establishment expenses, form dedicated teams for the acquisition process, and carry out rehabilitation and resettlement of eligible persons in line with government norms. According to Nanduri, administrative sanction from the government will enable Tidco to begin groundwork for the project. The Global City is envisioned to integrate AI-driven smart city management systems, digital twin-based urban simulations, smart mobility solutions, and green-blue infrastructure to promote sustainability. Following a review chaired by the Chief Minister on August 22, which evaluated potential sites in Kancheepuram, Ranipet, Chengalpet, and Tiruvallur districts, Maduranthakam taluk in Chengalpet district was chosen for the development. Tidco has earmarked 1,945.19 acres spanning the villages of Attimanam, Janakipuram, Kallapiranpuram, Padalam, Palayanur, and Puliparakoll. The identified land includes 650.72 hectares of wetland, 75.61 hectares of dry land, 0.01 hectares of manavari land, and 61.18 hectares of government land. The corporation has sought approval under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act to proceed with the process.
