Chennai/Thoraipakkam, 200 Feet Radial Road
Current (Phase 1):
Thoraipakkam is one of the fastest-emerging IT and SEZ locations on the OMR belt, a micro-market defined by the 200 Feet Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road that slices across from the airport/GST Road junction in the west to OMR in the east. This radial road has become one of Chennai's most strategically valuable commercial corridors: it gives companies both OMR addresses and direct airport connectivity without traversing the city. Embassy Splendid Techzone, Chennai One SEZ, and ASV Suntech Park anchor the zone's Grade A supply.

The 200 Feet Radial Road is one of only two major west-east road connectors in South Chennai (the other being Velachery-Tambaram Road), creating a structurally limited and therefore permanently valuable connectivity corridor. Chennai Peripheral Ring Road project (proposed) will further strengthen cross-corridor connectivity once completed. *Content prepared for Zreo City Insights, Chennai Edition.
