What the maps cover

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority map set combines several planning and project maps rather than providing a written government order. The pages identify existing and proposed land uses, planning boundaries, transport links, public facilities and major development projects.

The map titled “Overall Development Plan M.M. Nagar, New Town” shows:

  • The scheme boundary, roads, settlements and excluded areas.
  • Residential, industrial, commercial and public purpose areas.
  • Proposed residential, commercial and industrial areas.
  • Proposed roads, a sewage farm, service areas, parks and water bodies.
  • Kattankulathur and M.M. Nagar railway stations.
  • Industrial areas at Sengundram and Chithmanur.
  • Ninnakarai Eri and Kilkaranai Eri.

Other plans and projects shown

The “Maraimalai Nagar Present Development Spread” map classifies development as residential, industrial, commercial, institutional and parks. It also marks industrial areas, named industries, silviculture research and Gudalur Reserve Forest.

The Madhavaram Truck Terminal Complex layout identifies a bus terminal, parking for small and heavy vehicles, plots for operators and agents, commercial plots, public purpose land, auto workshops, weigh bridges, a petrol bunk, a post office and common toilets. It also marks open space reservation and warehousing areas. The printed scale is 320 feet to one inch.

A separate Chennai city map shows Chennai Metropolitan Area, city, taluk and village boundaries, railway lines and approved detailed development plan areas. It is labelled “Master Plan for CMA, 2026.” The set also contains maps for the Koyambedu Wholesale Market Complex flower market and fruit and vegetable market.

Relevance to property readers

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority maps can help buyers, owners and professionals understand the broad planning context of a location. They may indicate whether an area is shown for residential, industrial, commercial, institutional or public purposes, or lies within a scheme, excluded area or approved detailed development plan area.

The supplied pages do not provide survey number schedules, ownership details, approval conditions or a government order number. They should therefore be read as mapped planning information rather than a parcel-specific ownership record.
