Thirumazhisai is set to emerge as an innovation city

 Loop Road to make Tirumazhisai the next urban hotspot

The CMDA has issued a notification to pool over 1,600 acres of land for constructing the roadway in the fast-developing suburb, which would also have residential and commercial spaces.

Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) is implementing the Thirumazhisai New Town through a transformative Land Pooling Scheme covering 1,600 acres. The Scheme will feature a 30-meter-wide Loop Road connecting Chennai Outer Ring Road and Bengaluru Highway, along with residential, commercial, and mixed-use zones. Designed for sustainable growth, the project includes basic amenities like road and water supply networks, stormwater drains, sewer lines, and parks while ensuring 60% of developed land is returned to landowners. This strategic initiative aims to boost economic developemnt, augment the potential of the town property values and promote well-planned urban growth.

Thirumazhisai is set to emerge as an innovation city, with R&D clusters, knowledge hubs, multimodal transit hubs, business centres, etc. The proposed loop road ensures reduced travel time and increased accessibility within an 800–1000-meter walking radius. With its potential to secure funding through the MoHUA’s challenge, the Thirumazhisai project paves the way for sustainable, and inclusive urban development.

The development of Tirumazhisai, a suburb located to the west of the city in Tiruvallur district, is on the anvil.

To make it a popular urban space, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has issued notifications for declaration of intention to develop a Loop Road for Tirumazhisai New Town under the land pooling scheme.

Under the scheme, 1,605.75 acres of land will be acquired from landowners and developed as a road along with residential and commercial space including office spaces by the planning authority. The overall 1,605.75 acres has been segregated into 7 land pooling schemes.

The scheme will cover Kuthambakkam, Palanjur, Kilmanambedu, Neduncheri, Vellavedu, Kavalcheri, Thirumazhisai, Parvatharajapuram, Kolappancheri, Varatharajapuram, Thukanampattu, Udayarkoil and Narasingapuram revenue villages. The proposed Loop Road will connect Chennai Outer Ring Road with the Bengaluru Highway (NH-48) through these villages.

As per the proposal, around 9.84% of 1,605.75 acres will be developed as road and 40.80% will become a residential zone.Around 19.07% and 16.10% will be developed as commercial and mixed-use zones respectively.Recreational zone will cover 9.86% land and 4.24% will be waterbodies
