The SEZ Corridor is an emerging
corridor along an important road called Grand Southern Trunk Road or
simply GST in Chennai , lined up with a number of SEZ. GST Road
offers unparalleled accessibility and the best transportation infrastructure in
Chennai in terms of connectivity as it is connected by rail, air and road which
are the basic for the emerging of this new corridor.
A number of SEZ projects have
emerged in this stretch, making it the SEZ corridor of Chennai. It includes
MEPZ SEZ established in 1984, Mahindra World City, New Chennai, Shriram's
Gateway SEZ, Estancia SEZ, ETL Infrastructure and India Land SEZ.
GST Road is also in close
proximity to thickly populated middle income catchment zones like Tambaram,
Chromepet and Pallavaram besides Perungalathur making it attractive to IT
and BPO companies. GST Road figured on the global automobile map along with
Sriperumbudur which attracted the larger investment from Korean company
Hyundai Motor. Today, there is a whole lot of new meaning for GST Road.
L&T launched ‘Estancia’,
a large residential township, adjacent to their SEZ project.
Akshaya Homes, which was an early bird on the OMR, has
already moved into GST Road and launched a 520-unit residential
township, Metropolis.
