Chennai City - Street Alignment, Master Plan for CMA - 2026
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued Chennai City - Street Alignment, Master Plan for CMA - 2026, identified as Map No. MPHI / CMDA 6/ 2008. The map shows street alignments across Chennai City in three width ranges and states that these are additional to alignments prescribed in approved Detailed Development Plan areas.
What the map covers
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority map titled Chennai City - Street Alignment, Master Plan for CMA - 2026 provides a citywide overview of identified street alignments. It is marked as Map No. MPHI / CMDA 6/ 2008. The source does not show a government order number or a separate issue date.
The map includes Chennai City and surrounding parts of the Chennai Metropolitan Area. It marks zones and locations including Chennai Central, Chennai Fort, Egmore, Anna Nagar, Korattur, Padi, Guindy, Taramani, Perungudi and Thiruvanmiyur. The Bay of Bengal is shown on the eastern side.
Information shown
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority map uses its legend to distinguish:
- Chennai Metropolitan Area boundary.
- Chennai City boundary.
- Taluk boundaries.
- Village boundaries.
- Railway lines.
- Approved Detailed Development Plan areas.
- Street alignments from 18.0 metres to 24.0 metres.
- Street alignments from 27.0 metres to 30.5 metres.
- Street alignments of 45.0 metres and above.
The map therefore identifies broad alignment corridors and groups them by the width ranges printed in the legend. It does not provide a parcel schedule, survey number list or property measurements in the supplied text.
Who should check it
Chennai property buyers, owners and professionals can use the Chennai City street alignment map as a broad reference when examining land near a marked alignment. The boundaries, railway lines, zones and named railway station areas can help a reader locate the relevant part of the city on the map.
The map alone should not be read as showing every applicable alignment. Its note expressly says that the street alignments shown are in addition to those prescribed in approved Detailed Development Plans.
Relationship with Detailed Development Plans
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority states that the displayed street alignments supplement alignments in approved Detailed Development Plans. A location within an approved Detailed Development Plan area may therefore be subject to an alignment that is not represented solely by the alignment markings on this citywide map.
