Chennai/Ambattur
Current (Phase 1):
Ambattur is Chennai's dominant northern commercial district, a 1,430-acre industrial estate (established 1964) that is simultaneously the largest small-scale industrial estate in South Asia and a rapidly evolving IT services destination. Unlike OMR's pure-play IT character, Ambattur blends manufacturing, BFSI back-offices, FMCG operations, and IT services in a dense industrial ecosystem. The arrival of Kosmo One Business Park (2.4 million sq ft, Blackstone-owned, LEED Gold) has repositioned Ambattur as a serious Grade A office address, and the only high-rise tech park in North Chennai.
