The New Auroville Land

IRUMBAI
This acquisition is a large block of 13.72 contiguous acres just next to Irumbai Lake. The purchased land has significant water resources and comes with a large borewell. It also has vital access to a main road that leads to the heart of Auroville and the Matrimandir. This purchase consolidates the larger landholding and enables a straight line of fencing along the property.

FERTILE WINDMILL
This new plot of 2.74 acres with mango, guava and teak trees is an important addition to the consolidation and protection of the Greenbelt forests.

MEADOW
A consolidating plot of 1.19 acres has joined the City of Dawn in this Greenbelt zone.

PITCHANDIKULAM
New land of 0.76 acres was purchased next to the well-known pioneering biodiversity reserve
and agricultural area of Pitchandikulam.

NEWLANDS
A parcel of 0.68 new Auroville acres, coming with cashew groves, was bought in February,
joining the Greenbelt community of Newlands.
