TNHB Tirunelveli e-tender cum e-auction: 55 non-residential lots

The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) published its Tirunelveli — 55 non-residential lots notice (TNHB Tirunelveli notification 231; official source page published 24 Aug 2026), offering lots across 10 use categories in the Tirunelveli Housing Unit area. The notice describes a two-stage sale: applicants first submit an e-tender online, and those with a valid completed tender can then take part in a live e-auction. BiddingPulse summarizes the linked official auction materials — their listed lots, use categories, schedule, sizes, published upset values — without reproducing a unit-level schedule.

The official TNHB sources required bidders to submit a completed e-tender and place the deposit through the Tamil Nadu e-Procurement portal (TN Tenders) by 9 Oct 2026, 11:00 AM IST. The official sources we reviewed do not establish the live e-auction date or time. On TN Tenders, 9 Oct 2026, 1:00 PM IST is the tender bid-opening time, not the start of live bidding. Check the selected Tender ID and its latest corrigendum on TN Tenders, alongside TNHB Tirunelveli notification 231, for schedule updates. BiddingPulse does not accept tender submissions, payments or bids.

The notice set two main amounts for every lot. The first is the upset value — the authority’s published minimum amount for the lot. On bidding, the linked official auction materials say: for each TV code, the highest amount quoted through the e-tender becomes the starting bid for the subsequent live e-auction; the terms publish no later bid-increment rule. Across these 55 lots, upset values run from ₹14,36,000 to ₹32,83,50,000. Published plot/site area spans 614 to 1,19,400 square feet. The upset value is the minimum amount the linked official auction materials set; it is not evidence of a final or accepted price. The second number is the application money (EMD). It is 15% of the selected lot’s upset price (₹2.154 lakh–₹4.92525 crore per lot). Pay only the EMD for the lot you select; ₹48.826905 crore is the total across all 55 lots, not a single bidder’s payment. TNHB calls this payment “application money (EMD)”. It is credited toward a winner’s first 25% payment; TN Tenders lists the separate tender fee as ₹0. TNHB says unsuccessful bidders are refunded under the e-tender norms but gives no timeline. It is not refunded if a bidder withdraws after participating, and a winner can forfeit it by withdrawing or missing the payment schedule.

This page is kept as a dated, source-cited record of the auction's facts. This record remains current only within 30 days of the 13 Oct 2026 source check while the later live e-auction schedule is unverified in our records. A later re-verification of the official source can move that window forward. If no schedule appears before the window expires, the page changes to sale schedule verification overdue. It becomes the permanent record only after that auction’s sourced outcome or another sourced terminal update. Every figure here should be verified against the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) linked official auction materials before acting.
