The Detailed Development Plan (DDP) is being finalised for a ‘dynamic economic corridor’ with “integrated development across multiple sectors”.
A detailed land use plan covering one kilometre on either side of the ORR has been developed and is under review. It outlines sector-wise development to optimise land use. e-auctioning of plots is scheduled for early next month, CMDA stated.
The plan includes provisions for Global Capability Centres, Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology-Enabled Services (ITES) companies, Multimodal Logistics Parks, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), research and development clusters, warehousing, and flatted factories. Infrastructure planning covers physical, transport, and social facilities, it added

Poonamallee is proposed to be a business district, focusing on business and commercial activities.
