Vellakinar: between Thudiyalur and the IT corridor
Vellakinar Road is one of the main links between Thudiyalur on Mettupalayam Road and the Saravanampatti IT corridor, and Vellakinar has grown into a practical base for people who work in either direction.
It's less dense than Saravanampatti, which has kept land prices more affordable even as demand along the road has grown.
Getting around
Vellakinar Road takes you to Saravanampatti's IT parks in under 15 minutes, and to Thudiyalur and Mettupalayam Road for longer trips towards the Nilgiris.
Those two directions are the main reason IT and company staff buy here: they're close to Saravanampatti without paying its prices.
What's for sale
Mostly DTCP-approved plotted layouts, aimed at the same buyers as Thudiyalur and Saravanampatti but at a lower price.
There are also some independent houses and early villa projects, for people who want to build their own home within reach of the IT corridor.
| Property type | Who buys | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DTCP plotted layouts | First-time land buyers and investors | Confirm the approval number and the open-space handover |
| Independent villa plots | IT and company professionals | Check the services are finished |
| Older resale houses | Buyers on a budget | Check the title chain and the building's age |
Legal checks for Vellakinar plots
As in Thudiyalur, confirm the DTCP technical approval and execution clearance for any layout, and check that the developer has gifted the roads and open space (OSR) to the local body rather than keeping them.
Trace the title back at least 30 years through the parent deeds, and check that the Chitta shows the land properly converted from agricultural to residential use before you buy.
What to check
- Check the DTCP approval number and the local body's execution clearance.
- Confirm the OSR and road land were gifted to the local body by registered deed.
- Get a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate from TNREGINET.
- Check that the Chitta shows conversion to residential use.
