Chengalpattu

Located just 56 km from Chennai along Chennai-Trichy highway, Chengalpattu has rapidly transformed into a key industrial hub. Its strategic proximity to Chennai’s thriving industrial and IT sectors has been a significant driver of growth, especially with the establishment of Mahindra Group’s first World City in India, which caters to both IT/ITES and manufacturing industries.

Historically, Chengalpattu holds a rich legacy as a base for the Vijayanagar Kings and later the British, contributing to its cultural and architectural heritage. Today, Chengalpattu boasts a robust industrial landscape with major companies such as Tech Mahindra, Wipro, BMW, Ford, Flextronics, Dell, Samsung, Infosys, Siemens, and Mahindra establishing production plants in the area. With the new peripheral ring road connecting to the Chennai port, Chengalpattu is quickly evolving into a key manufacturing hub.

A new SIDCO industrial estate at Kodur Village, announced in 2021, is set to further boost local industry. There are several educational institutions and hospitals in the proximity.
