Satellite Towns

[edit]

Although technically not belonging to the Chennai Metropolitan area, many of these satellite towns are referred to as being within Chennai.

The State government will decide on the expansion of the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) before the end of this fiscal, R. Vaithilingam, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, told the Assembly on 25 August 2011. In view of the fast-paced development taking place in areas beyond the present metropolitan area jurisdiction, like Sriperumbudur, Kelambakkam, Tiruvallur and Mahabalipuram, it had become necessary to review the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area that was notified in 1973-74, he said.[2]
