Greenfield Airport Project: Land Registration Underway for Parandur.

The process of land registration for the highly anticipated Greenfield airport at Parandur, near Chennai, officially commenced on Wednesday. This marks a significant step toward transferring land to the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO), the implementing agency for the project.

On the inaugural day, 17.52 acres of land were successfully registered, with a total value of ₹9.22 crore, according to a release from the Kancheepuram District Collectorate Office.

The release further stated that 19 land title holders from five villages—Parandur, Podavur, Nelvai, Vallathur, and Akkamapuram—participated in direct discussions chaired by the District Collector. All participants agreed to transfer their land, and steps were immediately taken to disburse compensation to their bank accounts on Wednesday itself.

This development follows the State government's administrative sanction in October 2023 for the acquisition of 1,527.32 hectares (3,774 acres) of patta lands for industrial purposes. Additionally, 798 hectares (1,972 acres) of government lands in Sriperumbudur and Kancheepuram taluks of the Kancheepuram District are being alienated for the airport's development.
