C Shivakumar @ CHENNAI:
The first meeting of the high-level steering committee constituted to decide on the proposals for the land allocation in the 50 metres strip along the eastern side of Chennai Outer Ring Road (CORR) is expected to meet during the first week of next month.
A total of 13 state departments have come out with 59 projects across the stretch. The projects are expected to come up at 226 acres of land.
The steering committee was formed on May 2, 2023. Apart from Chief secretary as chairman, the other members of the steering committee include Industries secretary, Home secretary, Finance secretary, Revenue and Diasater Management secretary, Housing secretary, Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Fisheries and Fishermen Welfare Department secretary, Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Secretary and CMDA member secretary.
The state government has identified the future growth of Chennai to be along the Chennai Outer Ring Road. Recently, a consultant has bee hired to prepare a blueprint to develop one kilometre stretch on either side of Chennai Outer Ring Road. Apart from preparing the detailed development plan, the main objective of the consultant is to identify and delineate the suitable areas for implementation of Land Pooling Area Development Scheme (LAPDS) and to prepare economic development plan along the ORR corridor, official sources said.
It is learnt that the Textiles department has proposed 18 projects, the largest among the 13 departments, which would come up in 57.50 acres of land. Apart from that Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation has submitted eight proposals (40 acres of land); and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation has sought 36 acres of land for its seven projects. Similarly, Tamil nadu Small Industries development corporation has sought 47.25 acres of land for five projects while Indian Oil Corporation has sought 12.48 acres of land for six projects.
Other departments that have proposed projects include Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation (AAVIN), Directorate of Fire and Rescue services, Directorate of Art and Culture, Handlooms Department, Sports Development Authority of Tamil nadu, Tidel Park, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Tamil Nadu Fisheries Development Corporation (TNFDC).
CORR is being concieved by the government as a high-growth corridor with sustainable levels of density. Sources say that CORR will draw the business and industrial activities in and around Chennai due to better infrastructure and higher floor space index (FSI), enabling the supply of more floor space at cheaper rates and acting as a new agglomeration.
Chennai is already growing towards Old Mahabalipuram Road, GST Road and National Highway-4 which may witness land shortage for large scale developments. The CORR growth corridor is planned to cater to the requirements in the coming years.
