Tamil Nadu House 'Vaigai' Set for Revamp with Rs 257 Crore Investment

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has initiated the reconstruction of Tamil Nadu House 'Vaigai' in New Delhi with a budget of Rs 257 crore. The new building will be designed to withstand seismic forces, and will include various facilities such as VVIP suites, deluxe rooms, a business centre, and more.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Friday laid the foundation stone for reconstructing Tamil Nadu House 'Vaigai' at Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. The project is set to cost Rs 257 crore.

The decision to rebuild the existing structure was influenced by the reclassification of New Delhi into Seismic Zone–IV. The new construction will be structurally fortified to resist seismic forces, a design vetted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

The foundation stone was laid via videoconference from the Secretariat in Chennai, with state Ministers and senior officials present. The new Tamil Nadu House will feature a VVIP block, guest house, multi-purpose hall, business centre, fitness centre, and various other amenities over a total plinth area of 3 lakh sqft.
