The Tamil Nadu government has reconstituted the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA), with retired IAS officer K. Phanindra Reddy as its chairperson. The members are retired bureaucrats Reeta Harish Thakkar and Mythili K. Rajendran, retired district judge S. Kirubaharan Mathuram and former Public Works Department engineer-in-chief K. P. Sathyamurthy. TNRERA enforces the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) in the State, regulating the sector, protecting homebuyers and promoting transparency in projects and transactions. The government had earlier superseded the authority for six months or until reconstitution, whichever came first, and Phanindra Reddy headed it during that period too.
