Madhavaram to get Chennai's largest metro depot

Madhavaram will house the city's largest metro rail train maintenance depot, transforming into the nodal centre for the upkeep of driverless trains that will operate across the 118.9km of phase-2 in a few years. Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has invited bids for the construction of the depot expected to come up across a 69-acre plot in Madhavaram Milk Colony. The depot, whose area will surpass the existing 64-acre Koyambedu depot, is likely to come up in less than three years. With the latest tender invite, CMRL has floated 19 tenders for the construction of the 118.9km phase-2 lines and two depots.
