Hi, we are into Leather Goods Manufacturing and Exporters,mainly Wallets & Purses situated in Chennai. We have a plan to purchase around 5 Acres of Punjai Land (Dry land) in a Village of Madhurantakam Taluk, Kancheepuram District.

Could, anyone please tell me the rules and regulations to convert this as Industrial Land and from who are the Authorities to get NOCs and Approvals

Yes, you have to approach to district collectorate office for that. The owner applying for conversion would obtain a conversion order which could then be used to construct residential units on land. On the other hand, it is easier to convert a dry land or Punjai Land into specific purposes for example township projects or layouts.

Yes, it is very easy to convert Punjai land into a residential plot by paying a fee. You can get a 'change of land use' after obtaining the necessary approval from the local authorities.

Hi Balan,
Punjai Land means Dry Land. You have to apply to district collector to convert your dry land or Punjai Land into the residential plot. It is the duty of the district collector to visit the area and confirm whether the land for which conversion is applied for is suitable for agriculture. A final decision on reclassification would be taken by DTCP and CMDA.
