What is G.O. 111

Govt Order 111 is an enactment to protecting the Gandipet and Himayat Sagar lakes.  About 84 villages in the vicinity of these lakes, covering 10 km radius were barred from embarking on any commercial or residential land development.

So, this area, though stones throw away from APPA junction on ORR has been bereft of any commercial development. I am sure many travelling to Chilkur would have wondered why the stretch has not seen any residential or commercial development.  Some developers have used the land parcels to erect Engineering colleges, Schools and Resorts. 'The GO is mis-interpreted/ abused by some realtors to put up these so called non-commercial ventures. Many small time developers have developed illegal layouts here and sold to gullible small time investors.

The campuses of TCS and Cognizant had to go all the way to Adibatla because all the land after Narsingi and Manchireveula falls in this zone. But, increasingly many IT corporates are demanding land close to Gachibowli and not interested in far off places like Pocharama and Adibatla.   So, we have to see what the government now does with GO 111.  The greens and NGOs are fighting very hard to maintain status quo.

A list of the 84 villages is provided here for your benefit.  Take a note and beware!!!

You can notice the area in the below graphic from HMDA master plan 2031. As the land prices around ORR touch the sky, naturally some developers would come up with unauthorized farm land layouts in this area quoting a discount of 50% of the prices that exist in nearby HMDA approved layouts. Also, notice, why there are no projects/ layouts between Kokapet and Mokila a 10 km stretch between Exit 1 (Financial district) and Exit 2 (Kollur) on ORR.
