This move underscores the city's commitment to modernizing its public transportation infrastructure to cater to the growing needs of its residents and visitors.
Chennai Metro, already a vital lifeline for millions in the city, is set to undergo a transformative expansion with the proposed extension of Line 4. The extension to Parandur Airport promises to not only facilitate smoother travel for commuters but also stimulate economic development in the region by improving accessibility to key areas.
The competitive bidding process for preparing the DPR reflects the high level of interest and expertise within the industry towards contributing to Chennai's metro expansion.

The integration of the metro with the airport will streamline passenger movement, reducing congestion and travel time. Additionally, it will open up new avenues for commercial and residential development around the airport area, boosting economic activity and employment opportunities.
Furthermore, the extension aligns with Chennai's broader vision of sustainable urban development. By promoting the use of public transport, the metro expansion helps reduce carbon emissions and alleviate traffic congestion, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
As Chennai progresses towards a more interconnected and sustainable future, the extension of Line 4 to Parandur Airport marks a pivotal milestone in its journey towards becoming a modern, world-class city with efficient and accessible transportation infrastructure.
