Question 1

Is it safe to buy Parandur airport land inside the 13 notified villages?

Accepted Answer

No. Patta land in all 13 villages is under compulsory acquisition via the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997. Any sale inside the notified zone after acquisition orders are served is legally challengeable. Verify the survey number against the current acquisition notification before proceeding. Use 1acre's Premium map layer (https://1acre.in/subscribe) to overlay the acquisition footprint across all 13 notified villages against your specific survey number before any transaction.

Question 2

Which villages are affected by Parandur airport land acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Thirteen revenue villages in Walajabad block, Kancheepuram district, are notified: Parandur, Ekanapuram, Nelvoy, Podavur, Akkamapuram, Valathoor, and Nagapattur are confirmed in sources. Patta land totals 3,774.1 acres; government land adds another 1,972 acres to the 5,183-acre footprint. Villagers were preparing to file a PIL to protect the 12 lakes and ponds within the project area as of November 2025. Ekanapuram acquisition is also unlikely before the next Assembly elections, according to sources within the administration.

Question 3

When will the Parandur Greenfield Airport be completed?

Accepted Answer

Phase 1 has been delayed from 2028 to 2030. The airport has four phases total; Phase 4 targets 2046. TIDCO is the developer. Construction of Phase 1 was scheduled to begin in January 2026, pending full land acquisition. The project received in-principle approval from the Centre in April 2025, following which TIDCO initiated bids to select a private concessionaire.

Question 4

What is the compensation rate for Parandur Airport land acquisition?

Accepted Answer

The Tamil Nadu government fixed compensation at 3.5 times the guideline value for land in Kancheepuram and Sriperumbudur taluks. As of November 2025, over 1,100 acres had been registered in the government's name across 13 villages, with Rs 400 crore disbursed to 441 landowners. Actual compensation ranged from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 1.10 crore per acre in practice (Verified.realestate, November 2025).

Question 5

How far is Parandur from Chennai and which areas are good for investment?

Accepted Answer

Parandur is approximately 40 km from central Chennai. For investment outside the acquisition zone, Thakkolam and Sunguvarchatram carry the most direct airport adjacency. Sriperumbudur and Oragadam are industrial-demand markets, not airport-uplift plays.

Question 6

Will there be a metro to Parandur airport?

Accepted Answer

A 43.63-km metro extension from Poonamallee to Parandur Airport is proposed, with 20 elevated stations. Phase 1 covers 27.9 km to Sunguvarchatram at an estimated Rs 15,906 crore. The metro is at the planning stage; no construction is underway as of 2025.

Question 7

What is the total cost of the Parandur Greenfield Airport project?

Accepted Answer

The Parandur Greenfield Airport project is estimated at Rs 27,000 crore (Deccan Herald, November 2025), covering two runways, a cargo village, and a planned aerocity. An earlier estimate of Rs 30,000 crore was cited at the time of in-principle Central approval in April 2025. Adding the proposed metro rail connectivity brings the combined infrastructure spend to approximately Rs 43,000 crore.

Question 8

Should I buy a DTCP-approved plot near Parandur airport?

Accepted Answer

Only if the survey number is verified as outside the acquisition zone and the DTCP approval number is confirmed as genuine with the Kancheepuram DTCP office. Many plots marketed as "airport-adjacent" do not disclose their proximity to the notified acquisition boundary. Use 1acre's Premium map layer (https://1acre.in/subscribe) to verify the survey number sits outside all 13 notified acquisition villages before relying on DTCP approval alone.
