1. A) Background:

The 15th Finance Commission (FC) of the Government of India in its report for the
year 2021 – 2022 to 2025-26 has emphasized the importance of both rejuvenation of old
cities as well as the setting up of new cities. In this regard, CMDA is in the process of
preparingNew Town Development Plans for Thirumazhisai, Minjur, Thiruvallur,
Chengalpattu, and Kancheepuram and their respective surrounding areas.

The Hon’ble Minister for Housing and Urban Development Department, GoTN on the
floor of the legislative assembly during the discussion on demands for grants has announced
that “To develop urban growth centers such as Thirumazhisai, Minjur, Thiruvallur,
Chengalpattu and Kancheepuram and their respective surrounding areas as satellite towns,
separate New Town Development Plans for each will be prepared by CMDA.Subsequently,
the New Town Development Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area (Preparation, Publication,
and Sanction) Rules, 2022 was issued in G.O.Ms. 150, H & UD Dept under Section 18 of
Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The Proposal and Terms of Reference in

Chengalpattu is included in Annex 1.

B) Need for the Chengalpattu New Town:

Being a newly formed District, the administrative capacity building is in progress and
hence there is great potential to develop the present node into an Urban Growth center by
improving the existing Physical, Social, and Economic Infrastructure. The preparation of a
Development Plan for Chengalpattu is also needed in due course owing to the Proposed
Extended CMA boundary encompassing a major portion of the Chengalpattu district, thereby
attracting population growth and a shift in Economic dynamics. Further, theDevelopment
Plan shall aim to create a balance of competing environmental& economic development
goals, identify tools to limit urban sprawl, and control haphazard growth based on carrying
capacities.
 Preparation of Development Plan for Chengalpattu New Town

For the Delineation of the Planning Area boundary, the following were considered:

(i) Growth trends in the past decades

(ii) Major transit proposals include the Widening of the GST road, Elevated corridor

planning principles, so as to guide resilient, inclusive and productive urban growth. The Plan
will contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation by reducing carbon footprint of the urban
settlements compared to no-intervention or BAU scenario, improving access to resilient
urban infrastructure and services to reduce the vulnerability of the inhabitants, and protect
them from flood prone areas or other high climate risk zones etc. This urban planning activity
is considered fully aligned with Paris Agreement on both mitigation and adaptation,
consistent with thehigh-level climate strategies of India and Tamil Nadu,leading to less
carbon-intensive urban growth patterns and smaller built-up footprint of the metropolitan
area.

The consultant shall ensure that the entire planning process (all Tasks) includes
adequate assessment of environmental and social implications, and incorporation of measures
to mitigate & manage them in line with ESF. Environmental and Social Assessment of plan
preparation shall be undertaken by the consultant for the New Town Development plan to
assess the risks and impacts. The assessment shall be in a participatory manner, and its
findings shall inform the urban development policy, as well as the environmental and social
strategy for urban planning and infrastructure development and environmental and social
sustainability measures.

Annexure I: The Basic context of Chengalpattu and the proposed Chengalpattu

New town Area

a) History of Chengalpattu:

The Chengalpattu region was ruled by the Pallava Dynasty from 600 AD to 900 AD,
during which it attained the maximum height of prosperity and cultural glory. The temple
architecture, as illustrated by the rock-cut temple of Mamallapuram along the east coast, was
at its excellence during the Pallava Rule.

Following the decline of the Pallava Empire, the Chengalpattu region came under the
Imperial Cholas from 900 AD to 1300 AD. Another important phase in the history of
Chengalpattu district is the one when the region was reigned by the Vijayanagara Empire
from 1336 AD to 1675 AD. The town of Chengalpattu was formerly the capital of the kings
of Vijayanagar after they were defeated by the Deccan sultanate in the battle of Talikota in
1565. The fortress at Chengalpattu, built by the Vijayanagara kings in the 16th century was of
much strategic importance owing to the swamp surrounding it and the lake situated beside
it. Chengalpattu was taken over by the French in 1751 and was retaken in 1752 by British
Governor Robert Clive. The Chengalpattu fortress proved to be of great strategic advantage
to the British. During the wars of the British with Hyder Ali of Mysore, the fortress withstood
the latter’s assault and afforded refuge to the nearby residents. By 1900, the town was noted
for its manufacture of pottery and was a local market center, especially for rice trade. The
district was home to cotton and silk weaving, indigo dyeing, and tanneries. Extensive salt
manufacturing also took place along the coast. During the post-independence era, the town of
Chengalpattu served as the headquarters of the combined Kancheepuram district until the
year 1969, after which the District headquarters was shifted to Kancheepuram town.The
Chengalpattu district came into existence on 29.11.2019 after being carved out of the
Kancheepuram district.

b) Geographical features of Chengalpattu District:

Chengalpattu district is situated at coordinates: 12.6939 North Latitude and 79.9756

East Longitude on the northeast coast of Tamil Nadu with a total geographical area of 2945
Sq.kms. The district is bounded on the north by the Chennai district, West by the
Kancheepuram district and Tiruvannamalai districts, and on the south by the Villupuram
district. With a coastal length of 57 Km, the district is bounded in the east by the Bay of
 Preparation of Development Plan for Chengalpattu New Town

Bengal. The district features a tropical wet and dry climate. The fact that the district is close
to the thermal equator and is also coastal prevents extreme variations in the seasonal
temperature. The month of January with a 25°C average temperature is the coldest month of
the year. The average annual rainfall of the district is about 1400 mm. The district gets most
of its annual seasonal rainfall from the northeast monsoon winds during October and
November.

The river Palar is one of the major rivers in the state of Tamil Nadu traversing through
the Chengalpattu district for a length of 54 Km. The river Palar enters the district at Palur
village and confluxes with the Bay of Bengal between Vayalur and Kadalur village.
 Preparation of Development Plan for Chengalpattu New Town

Moreover, the district is bounded by the river Adyar in the north and the Ongur river in the
south. Besides the aforesaid rivers, Neenjal Maduvu, Pukkadurai Odai, and Kiliyar are other
minor rivers flowing through the Chengalpattu district. The district is home to 528 major
irrigation tanks having ayacut of more than 100 Acres (or) 40 Hectares each. Agriculture is
the main occupation of the majorityof the population in this district.

c) Demography:

The Chengalpattu town forms part of the Chengalpattu district which was carved out
of the erstwhile Kancheepuram District in 2019. Chengalpattu Town is located at a distance
of 56km from Chennai in South West direction along the major GST Road. The main town of
about 16sqkm houses a population of 62579 with an average density of 3900 persons per sq.
km. as per the 2011 Census. The Chengalpattu district encompasses an area of 2945 sq. km
with a population of 25,56,244 as per the 2011 Census.

d) Growth trend in the last 10 years:

Being one of the 38 districts in Tamil Nadu, Chengalpattu is the base for the prime
railway junctions of the Southern Railway and is an important railway node. Chengalpattu
town flourished significantly when it emerged as a preferred location for Mahindra Group’s
first world city in India catering to IT/ITES and Manufacturing Industries during the late
2000s. With Office and Residential markets expanding toward South and Southwest of
Chennai, the residential micro-markets along GST Corridor – Guduvanchey, Urapakkam,
Perungalathur, Singaperumal Koil, Maraimalainagar and Chengalpattu have witnessed
significant interest from buyers and investors. Besides, the developers procured land at lower
rates when readily available, which changed the landscape of the corridor, laying a
foundation for imminent development subsequently.
Despite the absence of a strategic development plan, Chengalpattu town had an
organic growth-induced sprawl due to the radical rail connectivity from Chennai city and
thereby increasing pressure on urban infrastructure within the Municipal limits.

e) Connectivity:

Road: The Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road where Chengalpattu is located on one
of South India’s most bustling National Highways. Extending across 472 km, the GST Road
heightened in real estate activity due to strong connectivity and transport infrastructure,
 Preparation of Development Plan for Chengalpattu New Town

leading to several micro markets along the corridor. The upcoming Kilambakkam Bus
terminus, located 25 kms from Chengalpattu town is also expected to create a major shift in
transport dynamics in southern Chennai.

Rail: The Chengalpattu Railway station is located in the heart of the town on SH- 58 near the
existing Mofussil Bus Terminus. This station holds prime importance in the South and
South West lines of the Chennai Suburban Railway. There is also a proposed
Tambaram – Chengalpattu additional Suburban railway line
Air: The Chennai International Airport is approximately 41 km from Chengalpattu and is
well connected by rail and road. A metro rail corridor is proposed to connect the
Airport and Kilambakkam Bus terminus

In addition, there are new transit proposals including the Widening of the GST road, an
Elevated corridor from the Airport to Chengalpattu town, and the Chennai Peripheral Ring
Road.
f) Economic Context:
Chengalpattu’s economy consists of two key pillars – Manufacturing Industry and the
IT/ ITES sector along the transit corridors and Agricultural activity. Chengalpattu houses the
top Auto and Auto ancillary plants like Ford, Nissan, Mahindra, etc. Maraimalai Nagar is
known as the Detroit of Chengalpattu and Mahindra World City is the largest private
industrial park in Chennai. In Spotlight of road and rail infrastructure projects boosting the
regional economy, Chennai as a whole has several infrastructure projects under construction.
The rapid urbanization and industrialization of the suburbs of South Chennai have promoted
Chengalpattu being looked up as the next reality investment destination.
