₹9,900-crore Koyambedu-Pattabiram metro corridor gets in-principle nod
The New Indian Express Chennai
|May 03, 2025
TAMIL Nadu has granted in-principle approval to a ₹9,928-crore 21.76-km metro rail corridor linking Koyambedu and Pattabiram, as the state moves to expand urban transport infrastructure in tune with the rapid 'suburbanisation' of Chennai's western periphery.

The project includes three highway flyovers coming up at a cost of ₹464 crore and is intended to reduce congestion along Outer Ring Road. The plan has been forwarded to the centre for clearance under an equity-sharing framework, with TN also seeking loan assistance from bilateral and multilateral lenders.
The corridor is designed to enhance connectivity to Pattabiram, where the state is banking on a ₹330 crore Tidel IT Park, which was opened recently to catalyse development.
