Ambattur’s infrastructure is defined by its massive Ambattur Industrial Estate, one of Asia’s largest, hosting auto ancillaries (TI Cycles, TVS) and IT parks (Ambit, HCL), supported by good roads and public transport (buses, trains) but facing drainage issues, with ongoing efforts to improve water flow for flood relief.
Key Infrastructure Aspects:
Industrial Hub: Home to hundreds of units, including Britannia, TI Cycles, Tata Communications, and IT giants like HCL and TCS.
IT Parks: Features prominent parks like Prince Info Park, Ambit IT Park, and Kocha Technology Park.
Connectivity: Well-maintained roads and extensive public transport (buses and trains) ensure connectivity to the rest of Chennai.
Residential: Developing residential areas with affordable property rates and amenities like parks.
Challenges: Chronic flooding due to inadequate drainage from Ambattur Lake, with new channels being built to address this.
