Credai's 18th edition of FairPro, a real estate property fair, will be held in Chennai on Friday, February 20, 2026. The fair will focus on projects in North Chennai, Porur and south-western suburbs such as Kundrathur as key attraction areas.

The Pammal–Anakaputhur–Kundrathur four-lane road project is expected to be completed by the 2026–27 financial year. Work is progressing in phases, and land surveys have been completed. The road widening aims to ease congestion, improve safety and accommodate rising traffic in Pammal, Anakaputhur and Kundrathur. On completion, it is expected to improve connectivity between neighbourhoods and reduce travel times for commuters.

Kovur, a once quiet village in Chennai's western suburbs five kilometres from Porur along the Porur-Kundrathur Road, part of Kundrathur taluk in Kancheepuram district, is undergoing rapid development with new high-rises built by prominent real estate firms and improved roads. Long-time residents recall the area was previously covered in trees and bushes. The historic Sundareswarar Temple, built during the Chozha period, is located here; Carnatic composer Tyagaraja created five keerthanais at the temple in the 1830s. Most old tiled-roof houses have been rebuilt as two- or three-storey buildings. Though residents report waste is collected every two days, garbage is often dumped in open areas outside panchayat limits, particularly along the service road south of the Chennai Bypass toward Tambaram. On August 1, heaps of plastic and domestic waste were observed burning in open spaces. A panchayat official acknowledged the issue and stated recent funds were directed toward roadwork and underground sewer projects, with plans underway to prioritise waste segregation and improve plastic waste recycling. Residents note Kovur currently avoids problems like rainwater stagnation and stray cattle affecting more densely populated suburbs, but warn unchecked growth and poor waste management could lead to similar issues.

Thiruneermalai Main Road links residential localities of Tambaram Corporation and industrial units in Pammal and Thirumudivakkam. Heavy traffic congestion occurs during morning and evening rush hours at the Thiruneermalai Road-GST Road junction. Leather units on the road generate heavy vehicle movement daily. Traffic police have installed temporary medians and cut right turns from Thiruneermalai Road towards GST Road with limited effect. Road condition deteriorated due to underground drainage (UGD) project digging by Tambaram Corporation in Pampal and Anakaputhur. Evening traffic choked by heavy vehicles and buses transporting industrial employees from Thirumudivakkam and Pammal. Road also serves stone quarries in Kundrathur and temples attracting devotees on weekends. Residents request road widening to ease congestion. Tambaram Corporation official stated UGD work in final stages; State Highways Department will pave road upon completion. Highways Department sources confirmed 3 km total length with 1.5 km completed; additional cuts added for house and building networks; restoration will begin after completion certificate provided.
