Several announcements made for the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) have not moved to implementation after government orders issued for them were later revoked.
Among the proposals that did not take off were district-level plot development schemes and the construction of commercial complexes in key urban locations to meet public needs.
A major redevelopment plan at Lloyds Colony in Chennai, estimated at Rs 451 crore, which included housing, commercial spaces and renewal works, is also listed among the cancelled items. Plans to create a corpus fund from TNHB scheme funds to support residents’ welfare associations were similarly affected.
Other shelved measures include setting aside 2% of profits from TNHB projects to form a CSR fund for welfare schemes for vulnerable sections, and reintroducing an instalment-based purchase scheme for economically weaker, low-income and middle-income homebuyers.
Projects proposed under public-private participation—such as an integrated housing and commercial development at Thirumazhisai (16.92 acres, Rs 1,280 crore), housing at Hosur in Krishnagiri district (125 upgraded plots, Rs 59 crore), apartments at Sampath Nagar in Erode (Rs 34 crore), and joint ventures at Mogappair in Chennai and Pallavan Nagar in Kanchipuram—were also among the announcements that did not come into force.
