Tambaram-Chengalpattu 4th rail line: TN to prepare DPR

The state government has taken up the initiative to lay a new railway line between Tambaram and Chengalpattu. Usually, it is the Indian Railways that takes up such proposals but the newly formed Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) has taken up this initiative to ensure seamless connectivity for suburban passengers and ease congestion on roads.

A railway spokesperson said it is purely a state government initiative. "The fourth line in the Tambaram-Chengalpattu section is yet to be approved by the railway board. If the state government comes up with a proposal, we will look into it," he added.
