Few lines from the news:
"Nearly eight months after its notification as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) has commenced levelling work on the alienated site of 147 acres (of which 123 acres is SEZ) at Navalpattu for establishing the IT Park.

After the process of levelling and fencing is completed, the next step will be to hand over 10 acres each to Sutherland Global Services and Cognizant Technology Solutions, the first phase allottees.

Simultaneously, tenders will be invited for the laying of internal roads and creation of amenities under public-private partnership mode. During this week, the Government would decide on the allotment to be made to applicants in the second phase, official sources said. "

The ELCOT, it is learnt, is pinning hopes on the district administration for relaying the 120-feet-road that links the IT Park with the Tiruchi-Pudukottai Highway, and is also confident that the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, which has been provided five acres to establish a sub-station, will complete its task simultaneously.

Skyrocketting land price appriciation in and around Navalpattu

Source:
http://dkn.dinakaran.co.in/showxml.aspx?id=295480&code=17069

We all know that a figure of 3 crore per acre is very well exagerrated, however, it is considerable to notice the level of appreciation the land price has received in the last 1 year in particular. With airport expansion, buzzing IT hype, BHEL expansion, infrastructure potential like ring road and 4 lane, expanding University,
growing population, increased affordability etc, it is common sense that the land prices will be on the rise. Unlike countries like US, the history of India has proven that this price movement is one directional...but with the recent unorganic increases, a downward movement could soon be a reality in the Indian realty market.

Potential IT Park Foundation stone to be laid next month

Talk from the Streets

As we may remember, CM visited 'Kalaignar Arivalayam' under construction in June (as in link http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/25/stories/2008062550580200.htm).

There is a good chance CM will inaugurate ‘Kalaignar Arivalayam’ next month and if that happens, there is a high chance that IT Park foundation stone will be laid as a part of his visit as well.
