SVM Gautam Nagar

Ponneri in Tamil Nadu has attained a fair amount of attention in the budget to be developed into a smart city. Located north to Chennai, this satellite town has attracted not only the attention of the Indian government for further development but also Japan investors for their manufacturing industries. The main reason for this innumerous attention from the foreign investors is the strategical location of Ponneri. It is very close to the Chennai metropolitan city and close to the Ennore Port which favours both imports and exports. Located in proximity to the Guntur – Chennai Highway and connected by other well established roads, this town is accessible by roads. It is also one of the stations in Chennai Suburban Railway which connects the town to the interiors of the city. The focus on Ponneri is another resultant of the Chennai – Bangalore industrial corridor. The town was suspected to become a hub for business development since the proposal of the corridor. With a population of over 25,000 people and splattered with industries like Ponneri steel industry, Nelcast Limited, etc. the locality is all set to become a smart city in ‘Modified’ India.
