Coimbatore Leads Tamil Nadu in Property Registration Revenue Growth

The highest revenue growth while registering properties in Tamil Nadu has been recorded by the Coimbatore district. The growth comes amid a booming real estate market. The district saw a 14.42% jump in revenue collection in the year 2024-25, according to the registration department. On March 25, officials registered 2.19 lakh property documents, earning ₹2,003 crore ₹255 crore higher compared to the previous year.

Coimbatore North also outran metropolitan centres, in terms of revenue growth, with a 15.81% hike over Chennai North (13.19%); Chennai South (13.19%) and Thiruvallur (15.80%). Government officials say the increase reflects higher property transactions, stricter implementation of registration policies, and initiatives to digitize processes that enhanced efficiency and transparency. The bulk of its revenues are from stamp duty, registration fees and transaction charges.

Revenue growth in 2023-24 was just 3.66 percent. This year, it has jumped to 14.42%, which is a record collection,” an official said.

They did it all with zero delay and simplified the registration process by processing all the documents that you provided. “The inspector general has told officials that focus should be on high-value transactions and that documents shouldn’t be returned under the guise of scrutiny,” a second official said.

Industry experts attribute this real estate boom to the branding of Coimbatore as an industrial hub. An imminent defence corridor was a key reason, according to C.R. Shivakumar, former president of the National Association of Realtors-India. “A large chunk of investors are investing in acquiring land to set up ancillary units for defence equipment.” Even in places like Appanaickenpatti and Selakarichal, warehousing projects are gaining ground,” he said.

Investments in IT and IT-enabled services (ITES) are also flowing into the city in a big way, With the possible exception of the IT corridor along Avinashi Road, Kalapatti, Neelambur and Sulur. Non-residents of Tamil Nadu had previously ruled land purchases; now buyers are favoring Coimbatore as a hot bet investment.

D. Abhishek, vice-president of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI) Coimbatore, said projects related to infrastructure would affect the prices. “There has been massive infrastructure development across the country in areas like metro rail, airport expansion, industrial parks and bypass roads, driving land investments. Real estate is still one of the safest assets, and wouldn’t likely fall,” he said.

The real estate market in Coimbatore is not slowing down as roads to sub-urban areas are getting clogged owing to bypass road works and new residential layouts taking shape in these areas.
