TNHB Villupuram e-tender cum e-auction: 17 sites in Villupuram and Cuddalore

The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) published its Villupuram Housing Unit — 17 sites notice (TNHB Villupuram Housing Unit notification 257; official source page published 31 Aug 2026), offering sites across 4 schemes in Villupuram and Cuddalore districts. 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 sites, schemes, schedule, sizes, published upset values — and accounts for every unit in a grouped schedule without reproducing every source column.

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 14 Oct 2026, 11:00 AM IST. The official sources we reviewed do not establish the live e-auction date or time. On TN Tenders, 14 Oct 2026, 12:00 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 Villupuram Housing Unit notification 257, for schedule updates. BiddingPulse does not accept tender submissions, payments or bids.

The notice set two main amounts for every site. The first is the upset value — the authority’s published minimum amount for the site. On bidding, the linked official auction materials say: after technical and financial evaluation, the higher of the qualifying financial-bid value and TNHB’s published upset value becomes the upset price, or starting value, for the live e-auction; the terms publish no later bid-increment rule. Across these 17 sites, upset values run from ₹21,52,000 to ₹31,96,88,000. Published plot/site area spans 778 to 1,10,695 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 site’s upset value (₹3.228 lakh–₹4.79532 crore per site). Pay only the EMD for the site you select; ₹8,47,12,500 is the total across all 17 rows, not a single bidder’s payment. TNHB says unsuccessful bidders’ deposits are refunded under the e-tender norms but gives no timeline. If TNHB does not confirm the sale, the EMD and further amount paid toward 25% are refunded without interest; withdrawal after participating or payment default can instead make paid amounts non-refundable or forfeited. These two are not the whole cost: the notice also lists GST, if applicable and all applicable corporation, local-authority and other taxes from the date TNHB confirms the sale.

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 25 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.
