Chennai Metro Considers Two New Corridors to Chengalpattu and Wimco Nagar

thehindu · · Infrastructure

CMRL plans feasibility studies for two elevated metro corridors, extending service to Chengalpattu and connecting Assisi Nagar with Wimco Nagar.

Key facts

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) plans to study two elevated corridors: Kilambakkam–Chengalpattu, spanning 26.9 km, and Assisi Nagar–Wimco Nagar, spanning 11 km. CMRL has floated bids for consultants to prepare detailed project reports (DPRs), expected to be completed in four to five months after a consultant is selected, likely within three months. Preparing the DPRs is estimated to cost nearly ₹2 crore.

The Kilambakkam extension would follow the proposed 15.46-km Chennai Airport–Kilambakkam stretch, whose DPR is under central review for approval; construction could begin after approval. The Assisi Nagar link in Madhavaram would connect Phase I and Phase II networks. Existing links between those networks include Alandur, Kilpauk, Thousand Lights, Nandanam, Koyambedu and Vadapalani.

By 2048, the Comprehensive Mobility Plan projects peak-hour, peak-direction traffic of 12,471 on Airport–Chengalpattu and 10,647 on Assisi Nagar–Wimco Nagar. Announced July 25, 2026.

Chennai Metro to Start Thiruvanmiyur–Indira Nagar Tunnelling in November

thehindu · · Infrastructure

Chennai Metro plans to deploy two tunnel boring machines in November for a 650-metre twin-tunnel stretch between Thiruvanmiyur and Indira Nagar.

Key facts

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) plans to begin tunnelling between Thiruvanmiyur and Indira Nagar in November, using two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to build twin tunnels across nearly 650 metres.

The stretch is part of Phase II, a 118.9-km project. Corridor 3, from Madhavaram to SIPCOT via Adyar, is 45.8 km long, including 26.8 km underground. Trains from Madhavaram will pass at least 40 locations, including Thiruvanmiyur and Indira Nagar, before reaching SIPCOT.

Excavation at Thiruvanmiyur station has been underway for several weeks at a depth of 22 metres. One TBM has been lowered and the other will follow. Hard granite is complicating excavation; the contractor opted to use chemicals to disintegrate the rock instead of controlled blasting. Tunnelling may take nearly a year. Repeated cutterhead interventions to replace worn discs could slow both machines.

Wimco Nagar Planned as Chennai Rail, Metro and Bus Hub

The New Indian Express · · Infrastructure

Chennai agencies plan to integrate rail, metro and bus services at Wimco Nagar, including longer platforms, a bus terminus and improved station access.

Key facts

Indian Railways, Chennai Metro Rail Ltd (CMRL) and Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) are planning to integrate suburban, regional and urban transport at Wimco Nagar in North Chennai. Proposed suburban platforms would be extended to 550 metres, allowing express and mail trains, including services to Kolkata and other eastern destinations, to stop there and easing passenger loads at Chennai Central. Plans include station waiting halls and facilities on identified metro land, a five-acre bus terminus on ITC land, a railway ticket counter on metro property, and a six-metre foot overbridge linking the metro concourse to railway platforms. Escalators, lifts, parking for two- and four-wheelers, share-auto bays and wider pedestrian paths are also proposed. A limited-use subway between Tiruvottiyur and Wimco Nagar stations is under construction by the state highways department and Southern Railway, with completion scheduled for September 2025. CUMTA and CMRL have asked Railways to consider land swaps for vehicle drop-off points. The scheme follows a ₹50 crore Indian Railways sanction in 2023-24 for integrating Chennai suburban stations with metro corridors. A similar plan is being explored at Chromepet.
