Annur taluk at a glance
Annur taluk covers the north-east. Its Sarkar Samakulam firka takes in the outer Sathy Road beyond Saravanampatti (Keeranatham, Vellanaipatti, Kallipalayam, Idikarai and the Sarkar Samakulam town panchayat area around Kovilpalayam and Kurumbapalayam) where the IT corridor is spreading. Annur town sits further out where the Sathy Road crosses the Avinashi–Mettupalayam road, and north and east of the town lies a broad belt of dry and garden farmland.
This is one of the more affordable places in the district to buy genuine acreage, and the Athikadavu–Avinashi groundwater recharge scheme has improved water in parts of the belt. But it also carries a specific risk every buyer should check: a proposed state industrial park.
Village names and firkas follow the taluk-wise revenue village lists published by the Coimbatore district administration (coimbatore.nic.in). Distances are approximate road distances from Gandhipuram, computed from OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Use them to orient yourself, not as exact travel distances.

Villages buyers ask about most
Kovilpalayam & Kurumbapalayam (Sarkar Samakulam): On the Sathy Road about 13–17 km from Gandhipuram, under the Sarkar Samakulam town panchayat. New layouts and houses here follow the IT corridor's spread north-east from Saravanampatti.
Keeranatham & Vellanaipatti: North of Saravanampatti, between the Sathy Road and the Thudiyalur side: plots and houses for buyers who want to stay close to the IT parks for less.
Pogalur, Kuppanur, Akkarai Sengappalli & Vadakkalur: Farm villages named in the 2022 industrial-park land identification (see the legal section below).
Legal checks specific to Annur taluk
Proposed industrial park: in 2022 TIDCO identified about 3,700 acres for an industrial park in Annur taluk villages (including Pogalur, Kuppanur, Akkarai Sengappalli and Vadakkalur) and in Iluppanatham and Bellepalayam in Mettupalayam taluk. After farmer protests the state said in December 2022 that it would take only about 1,630 acres of barren privately owned land, and agricultural land only from willing sellers. Before buying in these villages, check whether your survey number appears in any acquisition notification.
Whatever you buy here, the land records sit under Annur taluk: on the Tamil Nadu e-services portal choose District (Coimbatore, Taluk) Annur, then the village and survey number to view Patta and the FMB sketch; the Encumbrance Certificate and guideline value are on TNREGINET. Our district guide walks through each step.
What to check
- Older agricultural holdings here often carry unpartitioned family shares and, occasionally, cultivating-tenant claims. Insist on a registered partition or legal-heir trail.
- Water varies sharply in this traditionally dry belt even with the recharge scheme: test the parcel's own borewell and ask neighbouring farms about summer levels.
- Trace the parent documents for at least 30 years and pull a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate for every survey number in the sale.
- Match Patta, Chitta, Adangal and the FMB sketch with the boundary on the ground, and check the village A-register for the land's classification.
