Locality Review: Oragadam, Chennai

Oragadam, known as one of South Asia’s largest automobile hubs, is also one of Chennai’s fastest-growing suburbs. Efforts are on to develop it into a multi-faceted industrial zone, but what does this area offer for property investors? And is it worth investing in this locality? Let’s find out.
Oragadam, one of the largest and most developed industrial hubs of Chennai, is located about 55 km southwest of the city centre. It’s nestled between the Grand Southern Trunk Road or NH 45 and National Highway-4. Poondi, Mathur, Vadakkupattu, Vattambakkam, Salamangalam, Navalur, and Arambakkam are areas surrounding this region.
Oragadam is home to many automobile-related companies and workshops. Over 22 Fortune 500 companies have made significant investments in Oragadam and the Oragadam-Sriperumbudur belt. Renault-Nissan, Royal Enfield, Ford, Dell, Samsung, Apollo Tyres, TVS Electronics, Yamaha, JCBL, Essar Steel, BPCL, GE Bayer, and Komatsu are some of the prominent companies to be named. The state government’s upcoming Oragadam Industrial Corridor Road, worth INR 300-crore, will further add more employment opportunities.
Oragadam is well-connected via road and rail networks.
