12 Jun 2026 CW Team

The scope of the assignment includes market studies, transaction advisory services, land use assessments and the preparation of concept plans to guide development. The transit hub is to be designed to provide seamless connectivity with the suburban Guindy railway station, the local bus terminus and the Metro station at Guindy. The studies will examine options for physical integration and commercial land use that support multimodal interchange. The assignment will also consider pedestrian access and first and last mile connectivity to improve circulation within the interchange.

A CMAML press note said the proposed hub has been envisioned to provide efficient physical integration between existing transit services and to improve commuter convenience. The project is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion, enhance traffic circulation and facilitate safer and smoother passenger movement at one of Chennai's busiest transport nodes. The consultancy will also assess opportunities to integrate commercial infrastructure that complements transit operations. It will evaluate commercial opportunities and possible revenue models to support operational sustainability without altering transport functions.

Findings from the Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) and the Detailed Project Report (DPR) will inform detailed design decisions and transaction structures for any future phases of development. CMAML will use the recommendations to guide procurement, land use planning and stakeholder engagement required for implementation. The work is intended to strengthen connectivity within the city and to support better movement of passengers across modes. Final reports are to be presented to the metro authority and relevant civic agencies to coordinate subsequent actions.
