Question 1

Is the Chennai Second Master Plan 2026 still operative for OMR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The CMDA Second Master Plan 2026 governs all OMR Chennai land buying decisions today. The IT Corridor Zone, the Pallikaranai swamp prohibition, and the MRTS influence area are all defined inside it. A Third Master Plan with horizon 2046 is in preparation but has not been notified.

Question 2

Which OMR localities fall under the IT Corridor Zone?

Accepted Answer

The CMDA approved layout OMR belt covers a 500 m strip on either side of Rajiv Gandhi Salai, from Kottivakkam in the north to Semmancheri in the south, bounded eastward by the Buckingham Canal. That brings in Thiruvanmiyur, Perungudi, Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur, Navalur, Siruseri and Semmancheri.

Question 3

Can I buy a plot inside the Pallikaranai Ramsar buffer?

Accepted Answer

No new CMDA approval inside the Ramsar buffer zone Chennai authorities have flagged since the 24 September 2025 NGT order is being issued. Even plots within one kilometre of the marsh boundary may be restricted until the Tamil Nadu State Wetland Authority finalises the scientific delineation.

Question 4

How do I verify patta and chitta for an OMR plot?

Accepted Answer

Use the Tamil Nadu eServices portal at eservices.tn.gov.in. Pull the patta, chitta, A-Register and FMB sketch by survey number. For Chennai Corporation pockets, request the TSLR Extract. Also run the poramboke verification, since tank-bed parcels still surface on lower OMR listings.

Question 5

Is Siruseri SIPCOT a safe investment zone?

Accepted Answer

The SIPCOT Cyber City spans 2,000 acres and the Siruseri SIPCOT IT Park covers 868 acres of government-developed land. Plots inside the SIPCOT boundary carry clean allotments. Village layouts outside that boundary follow local panchayat rules and need separate CMDA sanction verification.

Question 6

What are current OMR property rates per sq ft?

Accepted Answer

OMR property rates per sq ft span a wide band. Upper OMR addresses near Tidel Park command the deepest premiums, mid OMR around Sholinganallur sits at mid-segment rates, and lower OMR from Padur to Kelambakkam offers the most affordable fresh inventory. Always reconcile guideline value with market value before negotiation.

Question 7

Are there CRZ restrictions along the OMR-ECR stretch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parts of the OMR-ECR fringe and certain Pallikaranai pockets fall inside the Coastal Regulation Zone notification. CRZ enforcement is shared between MoEFCC, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and CMDA. Confirm CRZ category before applying for any building permission near the eastern feeder roads.
