Chief Minister Vijay revealed plans for a new integrated Assembly and Secretariat building in Chennai, projected to cost ₹1,200 crore and consolidate all departments under one roof.
Chief Minister Vijay announced that the Tamil Nadu government will construct a new Assembly and Secretariat complex in Chennai at an estimated cost of ₹1,200 crore. The integrated facility is slated to bring together the legislative assembly, secretariat offices and ancillary services in a single, purpose‑built campus.

By housing all state ministries under one roof, officials expect faster decision‑making and reduced operational costs.
While detailed timelines were not disclosed, the government indicated that the complex will be built on a newly acquired site in Chennai and will follow contemporary architectural standards. The initiative is positioned as a long‑term investment to enhance administrative efficiency and serve the growing needs of the state.
