This expansion underscores the city's dedication to enhancing public transportation and supporting sustainable urban growth.

As work progresses, the Sholinganallur-Siruseri metro stretch is set to become a vital link in Chennai's transportation network, improving mobility and quality of life for thousands of residents.
