The press release provides a progress update rather than legal rules. It does not state a government order number, approve a land transaction or announce a change of land use.
Project details
The Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus is described as:
- Located on 86 acres at Kilambakkam.
- Developed at an estimated cost of about Rs.400 crore.
- Intended to handle 2,310 buses each day when fully operational, including 40 omni buses.
- Expected to serve nearly 100,000 people daily.
- Planned to be opened for public use around the coming Tamil New Year and inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Infrastructure and drainage
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority says facilities were being provided for passengers, bus crews and operations. These include:
- Food outlets, restaurants, drinking water and toilets.
- A pharmacy and access to medicines for sudden illness.
- Rest rooms for drivers and conductors.
- Fire service vehicles and fire safety arrangements.
- Electricity and a diesel facility.

Rainwater accumulation during the monsoon was identified as a reason for delaying the opening. The press release refers to drainage work over 1,700 metres and separately states that 1,200 metres of rainwater drainage work had been completed. It also records a proposal to replace an existing low-level drainage arrangement near the railway station with a new rainwater channel. An estimate had been communicated to the railway authorities.
