The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Koyambedu-Avadi Metro Line in Chennai is expected to be finalized by November 2024. This report will outline the comprehensive plan for the new metro corridor, which aims to enhance connectivity and improve public transportation in the Chennai metropolitan area.

The Koyambedu-Avadi line is a significant addition to Chennai?s metro network, designed to alleviate traffic congestion and provide a reliable alternative for commuters. The corridor will connect Koyambedu, a major commercial hub, with Avadi, a key residential and industrial area, thus catering to the growing transportation needs of these regions.

The DPR will include detailed feasibility studies, route planning, cost estimates, and environmental assessments. It will also address the technical specifications and project timelines necessary for the successful implementation of the metro line.

This metro project is part of Chennai's broader strategy to expand its metro network, which aims to boost urban mobility, reduce travel time, and support sustainable transportation. The introduction of the Koyambedu-Avadi line is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of Chennai's public transport system and provide a much-needed boost to the city's infrastructure.
