Chennai, Jun 18 (PTI) The environmental clearance granted to Brigade Enterprises Limited for a proposed project in Chengalpattu district has been revoked by the SEIAA of Tamil Nadu over violations of wetland regulations.
The decision was finalised during the 1,005th State Environment Impact Assessment Authority meeting, held in a hybrid format on May 8, 2026.
According to the minutes of the meeting, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Member Secretary of the Tamil Nadu State Wetland Authority formally notified the SEIAA that the project proponent, Brigade Enterprises Ltd, had commenced construction activities without obtaining prior permission from the Wetland Authority.

The Wetland Authority flagged the violation in a letter dated April 16, 2026, requesting immediate appropriate action.
The letter warned that non-compliance could result in the withdrawal of the clearance under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
After considering the Wetland Authority’s request and relevant documents, the SEIAA resolved to revoke the EC issued for the Brigade Enterprises project situated at S F no: 453, 495/2C, 496, 497 & 498 in Perumbakkam Village, Tambaram Taluk. PTI JR SSK
