In its drive to become a total information technology (IT) solutions provider, the US-based computer hardware major Dell will double the headcount at its Force 10 Networks centre here, said a senior official.

Dell had recently acquired the US-based $200 million revenue networking company Force 10 Networks.

"India is playing a strategic part in driving Dell's transformation globally into a solutions and services enterprise. Chennai is a critical growth engine for Dell as it has manufacturing facility, services and research and development centres. Further, Force 10 Networks also has its R&D centre in the city," Suresh Vaswani, executive vice president, Dell Services and chairman, Dell India told reporters here Tuesday.

Force 10 Networks has a 265-people strong R&D centre here and Dell will double the headcount over the next one year, he said.

According to Vaswani, the Force 10 Networks acquisition might result in manufacturing of some networking products at Dell's factory near here.

Force 10 Networks' development centre here meets nearly 75 percent of the company's software needs and, in the case of hardware, around 25 percent work is done in the country.

Vaswani said Dell India is the number one computer company in India across the market segments.

He said the company has a 1.6 million units per annum plant at Sriperumbudur near here and has ample space for expansion.

Bus shelter coming up at Sriperumbudur

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/00788/22TH_TERMINUS_788703f.jpg

Finally a bus shelter is coming up at Sriperumbudur bus terminus to provide succour to commuters. Enquiries reveal that the new shelter is being constructed covering south-west corner and western portion of the bus stand at a cost of Rs.50 lakh, under the Member of Parliament local area development scheme (MPLADS).

The number of daily commuters using this bus stand had increased considerably over the years due to the industrialisation around Sriperumbudur. The number of buses has also increased.

Recently the Sriperumbudur Town Panchayat spent around Rs.70 lakhs for cement concrete flooring and construction of commercial complex at the bus stand.

Cheers.

A lot of townships (some golf centric) are being built in the Sriperumbudur/Oragadam Area .A lot of places average around 3000 or more per sqft and it is a good investment which is only bound to go upward with all the industries and development . I do feel that the area has a long way to go before it can be a self sustaining satellite city. That might take several years. Facilities that are needed are

1)Rail Link to the city and other suburbs
2)Improvement of Road networks around the area and connectivity to the ORR
3) Malls/Multiplexes /Entertainment Facilities
4)Schools
5)Hospitals

Folks, not sure how many of you had a chance for a drive between Tambaram and Sriperumbudur via Mudichur & Manimangalam. Best part is JK Tyre is constructing their greenfield plant at kolathur village and starting production this yearend. Ashok Leyland is beginning their construction of a factory at 350 Acre land. Bosch just got 40 Acre land allotted.

With the industries lining up in the oragadam area ,there is no way land prices are going down....

GKN Driveline invests Rs 48 cr at new forging facility near Chennai

CHENNAI: GKN Driveline on Thursday opened a new precision forging facility at Oragadam near Chennai. It is said to have invested nearly Rs 48 crore at the new facility which will help its CVJ Systems benefit from GKN Driveline's proprietary forging technologies and quality. It will initially employ 60 people.

The 5,000-square-metre facility will supply precision forgings to GKN Driveline's Oragadam CVJ Systems manufacturing plant which annually produces 1.2 million sideshafts for automotive manufacturers in South India. The CVJ Systems plant was opened in 2008 to meet the rapidly growing automotive market in India.

"This state-of-the-art forging facility is our first wholly-owned forging facility in the Asia Pacific region and reinforces our commitment to our India-based customers," said Marc Vuarchex, managing director, GKN Driveline Asia Pacific. "Since the early 1980s, we have viewed India as an extremely important market for us. We now employ over 800 people in the country."
Ravindra Ojha, MD, GKN Driveline in India noted, "Our business in India continues to grow at an annual rate of 15 percent, and this investment helps ensure that we will continue to meet our customers growth throughout the region".

Can anybody give me the details of upcoming new projects (2012)and plant expansion(2012) in oragadam and sriperumbudur

Last month there was a news in Dhinamalar that Toyota will be setting up a new plant in Oragadam belt and TN govt is in the process of acquiring 500 acres of land.
Is that true? Can anyone provide an update on that?

There may not be new projects coming up anywhere in the country including the above said places as there is break to investments on account of global economic crisis and our country too is going thru economic and industrial production slow down.In fact the manufacturing index for Nov 2011 is -5.1%

Last month there was a news in Dhinamalar that Toyota will be setting up a new plant in Oragadam belt and TN govt is in the process of acquiring 500 acres of land.

No such move.The news is either misleading or the reporter might have misunderstood as Toyota opened only a show room in chennai recently inaugurated by the governor of the state.:)

All car manufacturers will drag out their new investment plans including those announced by Ford in Gujarat. They will time it in such a way that plant opening will coincide with their predictions of when the Indian economy will recover from current bout of high inflation/falling rupee/misgovernance.

Annamalai University alumni body plans industrial park at Oragadam

The Annamalai University Engineering & Technology Alumni Association (AUETAA) is planning to develop an industrial park at Oragadam.

According to Mr C.K. Sridhar, President, AUETAA, the association is on the look out for a 50-acre parcel in the city's renowned industrial corridor - Oragadam.

“We are in talks with a couple of land owners and likely to strike a deal soon,” he said. The idea is to utilise the park for captive purpose. The association will invite its members who have small and medium engineering units – particularly auto components and electronics – in various locations to come and set up shop here.

“It will be very difficult for individual entrepreneur to buy a plot in this stretch and set up his unit otherwise,” says Mr Sridhar.

Besides, the alumni body is also set to host a two-day international convention on ‘Contemporary Engineering', in Chennai on January 7 and 8.

The meet is expected to draw experts in various fields from across the world and will discuss diverse issues pertaining to engineering.

It will also have sessions on business opportunities in other countries including the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan and Singapore; and ‘innovation and entrepreneurship'.

Nokia to invest Rs 250 cr to revamp India business

New Delhi: Mobile handset market leader Nokia, with manufacturing facility in an SEZ near Chennai, plans to revamp its business in India by infusing fresh investment of Rs 250 crore in the next three years, with potential to create 500 new jobs.

The company has furnished the information with the Commerce Ministry, seeking permission for its restructuring plan. Since the handset manufacturer has a facility in the Special Economic Zone(SEZ), it requires a nod from the Board of Approval (BoA) for effecting changes in its business model.

The BoA, headed by Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar, will take up the issue at its meeting on January 24, an official said.

Nokia has submitted that with a change in business model and streamlined processes, further investment of Rs 250 crore in India operations by 2014 as well as creation of additional 500 jobs is expected," he said.

The proposal is likely to find favour with the Ministry since the changes in the model "by splitting its business will be revenue neutral for the State and Central government," sources said.

Besides, the new arrangement may be "suitably ring-fenced so as to avoid any misuse by imposition of certain conditions."

At present, the handset major operates in the SEZ through two entities-- Nokia India Sales Private Limited (NISPL) and Nokia India Private Limited (NIPL). The Group has so far invested Rs 1,300 crore and exports over 60 per cent of its production from the Sriperumbudur facility.

Nokia which is battling a tough competition has been on a global restructuring exercise since early 2011. It had even announced to cut 300 jobs in India.

The Union Government has sanctioned Rs 101.37 crore for a comprehensive water supply and drainage scheme and an integrated solid waste management system for Sriperumbudur Lok Sabha constituency.

This was disclosed by Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath in a letter to Sriperumbudur MP and DMK Parliamentary group leader T R Baalu, a release from DMK headquarters here, said. The Union Minister sanctioned the schemes and allotted funds following the representation from Mr Baalu, both in person and through letters, it said.

This may be out of context..But would need a small help.

This weekend I m planning to drive to Bangalore from Chromepet in Chennai. Google-maps shows "Tambaram-Sriperumbudur" Strech which joins onto NH4 to be the shortest (29Kms only). What is the condition of this road. Is it motorable ?

On my last drive to bangalore and back I took Chennai Bypass but the distance to Sriperumbudur is close to 57Kms via this route.

Any help on this would be great..:)

Any help on this would be great..:)

there are two routes in this stretch

Route 1 : Tambaram-Mudichur-Manivakkam-Oragadam-Vallakottai-SRPD - 29 kms- 583 route - Road really good except for some stretch in mudichur road and near oragadam junction

Route 2- Tambaram-Mudichur-Manimangalam-SRPD-18kms- 583C route- road really bad in many stretch -If you are not driving a SUV dont try this route.

^^ Thanks Arun.

BTW. Route 1(SH57+SH48) shows 44 kms on Google maps and Route 2 shows 29Kms (SH110).

Since route 2 is really bad as u said...I may opt for my old route which is via Chennai Bypass to poonamalle and then from there to SRPD..Roads are really good and I dont mind that additional 10Kms .. if Route 2 was good , I would have definetly opted for it.

Arun, stretch starting the right turn from Mudichur Road towards Manimangalam till the next 7 kilometers are being relaid... It is all done but the black top... It will be an excellent stretch once completed... But not good as we speak... I drove last week from Tambaram to Navalur Village where JK Tyre Plan have recently started their operation... Entire stretch was very bumpy due to road relaying activities... I would suggest you take Route 1 suggested by Arun82 i.e. Tambaram-Mudichur-Manivakkam-Oragadam-Vallakottai-SRPD - 29 kms- 583 route - Road really good except for some stretch in mudichur road and near oragadam junction

Thanks Ram,

Have sent u a PM..Would be great if you could reply there..

Cross posting from TN Railway forum

SOURCE: (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/logistics/article2995227.ece?ref=wl_industry-and-economy)

A rail connection to the industrial belts of Sriperumbudur and Oragadam could become a reality. This project has been a long-pending demand of thousands of units, including car manufacturers, located in the two regions located west of Chennai.

The Railway Ministry had forwarded a proposal for a rail link from Avadi to Guduvancheri via Sriperumbudur and Oragadam to the Planning Commission for appraisal. This is one of the 85 proposals sent to the Planning Commission.

With the rail link, the two hubs will be linked to two major lines – the Chennai-Jolarpet-Katpadi line and the Chennai-Gudur line – that connect to other parts of the country.

The Southern Railway too has been pushing for the project, which has good business potential from freight loading in the long run.

An official in Southern Railway said that the 55-km rail link could cost Rs 810 crore. The Railway Ministry had sought 50 per cent of funds from the Tamil Nadu Government for the project. “Negotiations are still going on,” he said on conditions of anonymity. (evlo varushama negotiations... :bash:)

While Hyundai's plant is located in Sriperumbudur, Nissan's plant is in Oragadam and Ford in Maraimalai Nagar near Guduvancheri. Hyundai has been using the Tiruvallur station, which is located about 20 km from the plant, to send its cars by rail to other parts of the country.

Mr. R. Sethuraman, Senior Vice-President, Finance and Corporate Affairs, Hyundai Motors Ltd, said, “We hope that the Planning Commission takes a positive view and proposal takes shape.” The industry has been asking for railway connectivity between these areas due to increased industrial activity. Several multinationals have set up base for global manufacturing and a move like this will help the development of the entire region, he said.

Nissan and Ford transport their cars by road to Ennore and Chennai ports respectively for exports to various countries.

Mobility
According to Mr Vidyashankar Krishnan, Managing Director, MM Forgings, an auto component manufacturer, the link will ‘greatly' help in mobility of employees into the Oragadam belt, which has around 400 industrial units.

The link can easily benefit around one lakh people who mainly come in from the Tambaram area. The link will encourage people to reside over a wider belt and this, in turn, will put less pressure on rents. However, it may not help address attrition and labour shortage which is endemic to the Oragadam region, he said.

Once completed, the line will help manufacturing units in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam to transport their goods to Chennai port or to other parts of the country. Currently, companies in the region depend on the National Highway 4, which connects Chennai with Bangalore, to transport raw materials and finished products.

Dry port
The rail link has also been pushed forward keeping in mind the upcoming dry port at Sriperumbudur. The Chennai Port Trust is planning to set up the dry port at a cost of Rs 100 crore. For this, the Tamil Nadu Government has sanctioned 125 acres in Mappedu near Sriperumbudur Special Economic Zone.

I agree Railways give 0 returns directly to state's kitty but they are important and needed for industrial development like port connectivity or city internal transporation etc or in this case getting sriperumbudur on railway map can save road density and cheaper commute between towns and cities.

Sriperumbudur to be developed into satellite town

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/01048/10_th_urban_color__1048691f.jpg

The Sriperumbudur town panchayat in Kancheepuram district has been chosen as a satellite town under the Centrally-sponsored scheme of Urban Infrastructure Development, according to K. P. Munusamy, Municipal Administration and Rural Development Minister.

Moving the demands for grants for his departments in the Assembly on Monday, the Minister said the objectives of the scheme were to reduce pressure on million-plus urban agglomerations by developing infrastructure facilities in satellite towns and sustain them by implementing reforms such as energy and water audit, cost-effective technologies and capacity enhancement for improved operation and maintenance.

“The scheme encourages public-private partnerships in the development of the satellite town. Reservation of 10-15 per cent of housing sites for the urban poor and promotion of the urban local body level reforms are the other objectives of the scheme,” he said. Under the scheme, three projects, covering the core sectors of water supply, underground sewerage and solid waste management, would be taken up at a cost of Rs. 101.37 crore. The cost would be shared by the Union government, the Tamil Nadu government and the Sriperumbudur Town Panchayat in the ratio of 80:10:10.

DEVOLUTION

The Minister informed the House that the amount of devolution to [10] corporations and [125] municipalities had been increased to Rs. 1,987 crore for the year 2012-2013.

Pending acceptance of the report of the Fourth State Finance Commission (SFC), the government adopted the previous year's pattern in deciding the method of devolution.

Taking a cue from recommendations of the Third SFC, the vertical sharing ratio of funds from the State's Own Tax Revenue between rural and urban local bodies had been fixed in the ratio of population -- 58:42. Further, out of 42 per cent share of the urban local bodies, the devolution grant was shared between municipal corporations, municipalities and town panchayats in the ratio of 30:41:29 respectively.

Stating that Rs. 750 crore was earmarked this year under the Integrated Urban Development Mission (IUDM) for corporations (except Chennai), municipalities and town panchayats, the Minister said the allocation was Rs. 500 crore last year. Broadly, in the previous year, 40 per cent of the total funds allocated under the IUDM was provided for the provision of basic amenities in the added areas of the expanded urban local bodies (ULBs). Apart from according priority to water supply, 18 municipalities and one corporation were included for the provision of underground sewerage schemes (UGSS). All ULBs had been given substantial allocations under solid waste management.

Referring to the government's two initiatives of coverage of all towns by the UGSS and the total elimination of open defecation by 2015, the Minister said Rs. 50 crore would be set apart this year against the sum of Rs. 14.3 crore last year.

A massive awareness campaign would also be launched.

As part of the Urban Statistics for Human Resource and Assessments (USHA), a slum survey was conducted in 34 ULBs having a population of over one lakh. It covered 1,963 slums and 4.13 lakh slum households. In the second phase, it was proposed to cover 60 ULBs, each with a population ranging between 40,000 and 1,00,000 at an overall estimated cost of Rs. 2.62 crore.

The aim of the USHA was to undertake planning, policy making, project design, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation in the context of programmes relating to urban poverty and slums, the Minister added.

Industrial Clusters for Ayurvedic Medicines


The Department of AYUSH, MoHFW has approved nine AYUSH clusters in eight States one each in Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and two in Maharashtra for setting up of AYUSH industry cluster (Special Purpose Vehicle) as common facilities centre for manufacturing and testing facilities for Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani medicines.

Tamil Nadu
9. Traditional Ayurveda Cluster of Tamilnadu, 48, Grand West Trunk Road, Kancheepuram Dist., Sriperumbudur-602 105
Funds Allocated: Rs 9.65 crores

The scheme for Development of AYUSH industry cluster for AYUSH industry cluster is based on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode which implies that willing industry representatives desirous of framing cluster can apply and obtain matching grant under the scheme. Since the project entails availability of infrastructure and willingness on the part of Special Purpose Vehicle members, it is for the SPV to decide the location for setting up the AYUSH industry cluster.

The above information was given in a written reply by the Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare Shri S Gandhiselvan in the Lok Sabha today.

It is not a question of sending, in this case..

If u had formed a SPV and got approval, and u had selected Cbe for this cluster, then it would have been set up in Cbe.

Till a decade back, Oragadam, a town located on the outskirts of Chennai, was sleepy with vast, silent tracts of land. But, today the locality today presents itself as one of the fastest growing suburbs of Chennai. The locality known as the biggest automobile hub in South Asia, is evolving into a multi-faceted industrial zone and will soon be developed into self-contained areas with residential spaces, educational institutions, hospitals and other social infrastructural facilities.

Due to the rapid industrial development, the area has caught the eye of builders, which further created a splurge in residential and commercial activities in the Oragadam region in the last few years.

Residential scenario

As more and more manufacturing units have started their operations around Oragadam, the residential demand in the locality is also seeing upward trends. To cater to the growing demand and working population, there are many renowned developers such as Inno Group, MARG ProperTies, Rich India Cityscapes and Tata Housing etc. already have their presence in the locality.

On a chat forum – Guru Talk organised by MagicBricks.com, S. Ramakrishnan, CEO, MARG ProperTies, said, “The Oragadam is the latest on the radar of many real estate developers in Chennai. This place is doing well in terms of infrastructure development. The locality has huge potential to grow in the next 5 years.

“The residential space such multi-storey apartment in Oragadam region is available between the ranges of Rs 2,500 – 3,500 per sq ft”, he added.

“Being a host to all major automobiles and manufacturing companies, the locality is evolving as a huge township and has become major attraction for NRIs too. New local users working in the IT or manufacturing belt are seeking property in the suburbs close to the workplace which further escalating the residential demand”, said, U. Mohan, local realtor, from Konnect Realty.

The Inno Group has announced Inno GeoCity, which offers 4,000 houses spread across 131-acre Township with all social amenities. On the other hand, keeping an affordable housing concept in mind, Rich India Cityscapes are coming up with row houses and semi Independent villa project called ‘VILLAGIO’.

Another real estate major MARG ProperTies, is coming up with a world class community, Brindavan with 1848 apartments and top notch amenities. Strategically nestled between Oragadam and Sriperumbdur, Brindavan is the next big investment opportunity by the most trusted builders of Chennai.

Spotting the potential of Oragadam, leading builder Arun Excello has just announced a massive world class gated community named Temple Green Heights, a 100-acre township which offers 2,600 houses.

The new projects like Hirco Palace Gardens, Tata Housing, Inno GeoCity, Temple Green, Raga Properties etc are also coming up in the locality to cater the growing population in the suburb.

Commercial scenario

Driven by the huge domestic demand, skilled labour pool and huge suppliers network in and around Chennai, the Oragadam industrial corridor has transformed Chennai’s industrial space. The area houses from leading auto manufacturers, auto component companies, FMCGs, logistics or warehouse service providers, IT and ITES operators and a host of FMCG companies.

The Oragadam SIPCOT (State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu) area contains a diversity of industries, including engineering, bio-tech, IT and electronics units. The cream of technology majors such as Renault Nissan, Daimler AG, Komatsu, Allison Transmission, Unipres, NSK ABC, Mega Tech, Delphi TVS, Seco Komos, Momentive, Johnson Lifts, JCBL Marbles, GKN Driveline and Tenneco have their set ups in the locality.

Having attracted huge investments from 120-130 small to big companies from across different sectors, the corridor is expected to attract more investments in the coming years.

The iconic bullet motorcycle maker Royal Enfield Motors has finalised its plans last year to establish a new greenfield production unit in Oragadam, near Chennai at an investment of Rs 350 crore. The plant will come up on a 50-acre site and is expected to have a total production capacity of about 150,000 units a year. The unit, which will employ 300 people directly, is expected to commence production by early 2013.

Divya from MARG ProperTies, said, “Looking at the potential, there are many new industries are also eyeing on the area. There is an employment opportunity for 3 lakh applicants is expected in Oragadam and Sriperumpudhur location in 2013, which would certainly have positive impact on residential market too”.

Infrastructure and connectivity

Oragadam owes its strategic advantage to the multi-modal connectivity. The locality is strategically located between two national highways- NH-4 and NH-45. . It is also well connected to the Chennai port, the Chennai Central railway station and an international airport. In addition the locality is home to a number of schools and colleges. The locality also provides facilities hospitals and entertainment zones.

The locality is a 20 minute drive from the famous temple town of Kanchipuram and 30 minutes drive from Tambaram and Vandaloor. It is 15 minutes from the Pilgrimage and Industrial hub Sriperumbudur.

The special thrust has been provided by the State Government to create a World class infrastructure such as 6 lane Highways, road and rail transportation.

The Railway Ministry had forwarded a proposal for a rail link from Avadi to Guduvancheri via Sriperumbudur and Oragadam to the Planning Commission for appraisal.

A rail connection to the industrial belts of Sriperumbudur and Oragadam has been a long-pending demand of thousands of units, including car manufacturers, located in the two regions located west of Chennai.

With the rail link, the two hubs will be linked to two major lines – the Chennai-Jolarpet-Katpadi line and the Chennai-Gudur line – that connect to other parts of the country.

In addition, the Tamil Nadu government is building the Rs 300 crores Oragadam Industrial Corridor Road. Mohan, a local realtor said, “This project which is to be executed by the Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation (TNRIDC) and funded through the State Highways Department, is expected to give a thrust to industrial activity in the Oragadam-Sriperumbudur cluster. It will also provide additional connectivity between Grand Southern Trunk Road i.e. NH 45 and Grand Western Trunk Road i.e NH 4 or Chennai – Bengaluru Highway.

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu government is in the process of acquiring close to 2,396 acre of land at the auto hub of Oragadam near Chennai for foreign companies that plan to set up shop in the state.
A senior government official said on the sidelines of the Japan External Trade Promotion (JETRO) and CII meet that land is being acquired at Oragadam. “Many auto companies are knocking at the doors of government of Tamil Nadu for land to set up factories. Japanese auto manufacturing companies top the list for the requests,” he said.

JETRO Chennai director general Shinya Fuji said that about 900 companies are making a beeline to expand their manufacturing base in the Oragadam auto cluster. “These companies include auto and auto parts, and electronic component makers. We were told that the government is in the process of acquiring fresh set of land to allot it to the industry and that we would be hearing from the government in three months from now,” he added.

The trade promotion agency of Japan, JETRO, has already signed two MoUs with the Tamil Nadu government for promoting investments in the state. Out of the 800-odd Japanese companies in India, Chennai alone plays host to 286 companies.

Land Acquisition at Oragadam is indeed moving at a fast pace. The Industries department of the TN State Govt has started issuing the "Form-E" to land owners of the Vaipur A & B block of villages at Oragadam (the sections of land behind the current SIPCOT-Oragadam). One of my Relative has 3 grounds of land in Eraiyur village and this week he received the "Form-E" which asks him to submit his land to the Sipcot-Oragadam Unit Expansion Land Acquisition Tahsildhar at Sriperumbudur. After the 30th of May 2012, the land would automatically come under the ownership of the State Government and this is as per a certain recent GoTN Gazette order (http://www.tn.gov.in/stationeryprinting/extraordinary/2012/93-Ex-II-2.pdf). One can go to the court to stay this acquisition but if you look at almost all of the final results of those cases , the Court will uphold the GoTN order as long as the GoTN has got the required approvals to plan for industrial parks in these land parcels.

Good to know that Japanese companies are making a beeline.:banana::banana::banana:

And the important thing is, this statement is made by the Japanese Sr. official.

On going to court to oppose land acquisition, its a futile attempt.. Instead individuals can collect the money and re-invest in nearby localities before price of land in those areas spike..

^^expected ..The CMDS boundaries have been increaed to almost 1450 Sq.Km ,but not sure whether Oragadam comes under this .Neverthless ,eventhough these areas are not under CMDA ,the expansion and the industrial effect of automobile industry making these regiond hot investment zone .Chennai is vast and fast expanding one western and Southern boundaries with Deveoplemnet reaching chhgelpet(50 kms from city) in South and beyond sriperambudur in West(40 kms from City). :cheers::cheers:

Bringing Oragadam under CMDA or keeping under DTCP does not really make a difference. SG can enforce DCR on the lines of CMDA in DTCP areas too.

To utilise JNNURM funds, there are some norms and the suburbs projects could not be taken up under JNNURM. Now the funding from JNNURM scheme is dwindling and so no big deal.

Power, Road / Rail, Local Public / Freight Transport & Social Infra have to be given a big boost along the proposed ORR alignment. Residential development will automatically happen based on the demands.

Two-wheeler maker Yamaha Motor India on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Nadu government for a new plant.

The Rs 1,500 crore facility near Sriperumbudur, on the outskirts of Chennai, will have an initial capacity to manufacture four lakh units per annum. The company plans to expand capacity to 18 lakh units by 2018.

The plant, spread over 100 acres, will roll out its first product in January 2014.

Yamaha will be one of the many auto companies that have set up base in the Tamil Nadu city. Investments by Hyundai, Ford, Hindustan Motors, Mitsubishi, BMW and Nissan have made Sriperumbudur a key automobile hub in southern India.

Make Sriperumbudur a brownfield electronic cluster area: FICCI

New Delhi, Oct. 14: Sriperumbudur near Chennai should be earmarked as an electronic cluster area, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has suggested to the Government.

For a region to be identified as brownfield cluster, at least 30 per cent of the region’s turnover should come from manufacturing, FICCI said in a letter to the Department of Information Technology.

A brownfield cluster is an industrial zone that is rebuilt or renovated out of an existing structure.

In its suggestions on the Electronics Manufacturing Policy, the chamber said the Rs 1,000-crore minimum annual turnover threshold (as envisaged by the Government) for identifying brownfield electronic clusters, should be brought down to Rs 200 crore so that more regions can be accommodated under the policy.

“Similarly, there should be flexibility in terms of minimum number of units within a cluster. Also, the number of units should be related to area. Otherwise, it may be technically possible to apply for the scheme with 10 units dispersed over a large area, even if contiguous,” FICCI said.

Oragadam – fastest growing suburb in Chennai (http://content.magicbricks.com/oragadam-fastest-growing-suburb-in-chennai/)

Till a decade back, Oragadam, a town located on the outskirts of Chennai, was sleepy with vast silent tracts of land. But today the locality presents itself as one of the fastest growing suburbs of Chennai. The locality known as the biggest automobile hub in South Asia is evolving into a multi-faceted industrial zone and will soon be developed into self-contained areas with residential spaces, educational institutions, hospitals and other social infrastructural facilities.

So what are the driving factors? The locality is strategically located between two national highways- NH-4 and NH-45. It is also well connected to the Chennai port, the Chennai Central railway station and an international airport. The area houses leading auto manufacturers, auto component companies, logistics or warehouse service providers, IT and ITES operators and a host of FMCG companies.

Due to the rapid industrial and infrastructural development, the area has caught the eye of the builders, which further created lot of residential development in the Oragadam region in the last few years.

To cater to the growing demand and working population, there are many renowned developers such as Inno Group, MARG ProperTies, Rich India Cityscapes and Tata Housing etc. already have their presence in the locality.

On a chat forum – Guru Talk organised by MagicBricks.com, S. Ramakrishnan, CEO, MARG ProperTies, said, “Oragadam is the latest on the radar of many real estate developers in Chennai. This place is doing well in terms of infrastructure development. The locality has huge potential to grow in the next 5 years.

“The multi-storey apartments in Oragadam region are available between the ranges of Rs 2,500 – 3,500 per sq ft”, he added.

Many believe that the locality is becoming major attraction for NRIs too. “NRIs working in the IT or manufacturing belt are seeking property in the suburbs close to the workplace which is further escalating the residential demand”, said, U. Mohan, local realtor, from Konnect Realty.

Samsung launches new product range (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Samsung-launches-new-product-range/articleshow/18248055.cms)


CHENNAI: Samsung Electronics expects a 30% increase in its refrigerator and split-AC sales with its new range of energy-efficient 'Digital Inverter Series', which it launched in Tuesday.

The company plans to increase sales by widening its distribution network and setting up about 400 single brand stores in tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India. The company has about 300 stores now.

The company's new series of refrigerators are about 40% more energy efficient and keep things cooler for longer durations, Rajeev Bhutani, head-home appliances business, Samsung India, said. The products come with a digital inverter compressor that adjusts cooling based on daily use and temperature levels and also eliminates the need for an external stabilizer. The products are available in different capacities from 253 litres to 415 litres, priced between Rs 20,500 and Rs 49,500.

Samsung expects these products to contribute about 35% to overall refrigerator sales this year, Bhutani said.

The company's digitial inverter split ACs, priced between Rs 23,100 and Rs 60,900, also come with energy saving features and smart inverter technology that replaces external stabilizers. Samsung currently has 13% market share in the split ACs segment in India.

All digital inverter series products will be manufactured at the company's plant at Sriperumbudur near Chennai. The unit has the capacity to make 1.2 million refrigerators and 450,000 split air-conditioners a year, 10% of which will be exported to south-Asian countries.

The company plans to widen its distribution network and set up about 400 single brand stores in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.

Oragadam to have wider road soon (http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/oragadam-to-have-wider-road-soon/article4397707.ece)

12-km stretch connecting to NH4 to be made six-laner under industrial corridor project

As part of phase II of the Oragadam Industrial Corridor Project, work to widen a 12-km stretch of the Singaperumal Koil–Sriperumbudur Road is expected to commence in a few months.

The road connecting Oragadam to the Chennai-Bangalore Highway (NH4) has traffic of around 30,000 passenger car units passing through every day.

The four-lane road is being made into a six-lane facility at a cost of Rs. 86.65 crore by the Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation (TNRIDC). After the widening, the road would have two service lanes each on either side. Land acquisition for the project is nearing completion. The work is expected to be completed by mid-2015.

According to sources in the TNRIDC, as traffic converging from out of Oragadam uses this road that sees the maximum PCU of all the roads under the project, the government decided to widen it. Tenders for the project are under evaluation.

Meanwhile, as part of phase I of the Rs. 462-crore project, traffic on a grade separator coming up at the Oragadam junction has been allowed on one side. This is to help reduce congestion at the junction of the Vandalur–Wallajahbad and Singaperumal Koil–Sriperunbudur roads.

G. Raman, who runs a business in Oragadam, said traffic was being allowed on the flyover for the past few days. “There have been times when traffic jams have lasted two to three hours. Once, it took nearly five hours to sort it out. There are several major companies in the area and when all of them finish work for the day and the employees leave in buses, traffic jams occur,” he said.

“Traffic is being allowed temporarily on the right side of the grade separator from the Vandalur side to Wallajahbad. And on the right hand side, service lane traffic proceeding from Wallajahbad to Chennai is being allowed,” an official said.

Around 60 per cent of the left portion of the grade separator has been completed. Of the 42 piers, 36 have been completed and of the 44 deck slabs, 33 have been completed.

The approach on the Vandalur side has been completed and the one on the Wallajahbad side is under progress.

The Rs. 20.80-crore facility is expected to be completed by June. Phase I of the project is likely to be completed by March 2014.

Lot of companies are around JK tryes area not seen from the main road. surprisingly the approach roads are very good and smooth. Somehow I reached the main road back after circling within the industrial area for some time.

These companies are not in/seen from Manimangalam-SRPD raod. After JK tyres, take a right after a km.

Thanks for the fine pictures. How nice to see the well kept premises and lawns of Daimler. In contrast are the road shoulders reminding us of the line "vaethaalam chaerumey vellerukku pookumey".

CP

Compared to our last visit, did you see any visible improvements in Infra & more number of Factories construction ?

:sly:

Kannan Sir.. Ungaluku theriyama irukuma enna? Neengale ipdi kekaringa..

Illa, potu vangaringala?

I go there often. So I am not able to spot much.


Only people who visit rarely will find visible changes.

Good to see the real factories....unlike other cities who worship their renders.

The oragadam area looked more complete now. when we went, there were lot of u/c buildings around oragadam junction. And many new factories are u/c like Royal Enfield, Danfoss. Also the road from SRPD to Oragadam is very good now.

Govt should focus on
1. Make the SRPD to SP Koil 4 laned
2. Complete Oragadam flyover and the road underneath
3. Complete SP Koil ROB
4. Create truck layby

Thanks everyone :)

CP in Oragadam are there any zoning like industries in one area and housing coming up in other area.(I think most of the housing projects are near hira towards SP industries in other area).

I dont think there is any zoning as such like there in Mahendra City. All industries comes under Oragadam Sipcot and the housing projects are situated farther from the sipcot area I suppose. Kannan sir may comment though

MWC is a Gated Community like development - SEZ with clear zoning demarcation for IT, AUto, Textiles, Hospitality, Residential etc. This development is coming under Group Development Industrial Estate Layout.

Oragadam has been developed more as Industrial Layout and not group development. Since SEZ has to have boundaries (Bonded goods), individual units / developments have demarcated zones within.

Since there is no proper zoning, residential development dots the landscape and some times be a hindrance to Industrial development / expansion.

So far SPPDR to Oragadam is well developed. Oragadam to Padappai is next. Oragadam to SPKoil , major development is Hira Palace Heights. Oragadam to Walaja is just developing.

I have a feeling politicians like it this way (No zoning) so that they can benamify all these lands....and make sure they get the money several time higher but also not allow the opposing govt. to create land banks for projects...

Is there any major housing development in SPKOVIL-Orgadam junction stretch? Though Hirco construction is stalled and not sure about VBHC.

Guess this stretch might develop faster hopefully because of reserved forest area.

Invest in Oragadam for better returns (http://content.magicbricks.com/invest-in-oragadam-for-better-returns/)

Chennai

Strategically located between the two national highways- National Highway 4 and National Highway 45, Oragadam is one of the locations witnessing good capital and rental appreciation among suburbs. The concept of State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) has worked well for the city and the industrial development in Oragadam is a result of the same. This has given an impetus to the residential development in the locality, even though a lot needs to be done before it can become self-sustaining residential area.

“There is a critical need to develop social and physical infrastructure in the locality. Several residential projects are underway in the locality but at present the demand in the locality is largely driven by long term investors and by those seeking rental returns,” says Harinath, director, Oragadam City Developers.

Even though prices are more affordable as compared to the city centre, lack of infrastructure is keeping the end users away from settling here. Demand is driven by investors or those who are working in the industrial and manufacturing units. Thus end users are not showing much inclination towards buying a property unless they are working in the locality.

“The locality has witnessed a capital appreciation of approximately 25 per cent in the past few years and is expected to appreciate at a faster rate in the future also,” adds Harinath. Further owing to the huge rental demand from the working class and limited supply, rents are always high.

“One can easily earn up to 3-4 per cent rental return on an investment. The average rental value starts at Rs 10 per sq ft per month,” says Harinath. The maximum demand is witnessed for properties worth between Rs 30-60 lakh. This trend is visible across the city and as prices have shot up in the city centres, Oragadam promises to be an affordable option in the future.

The time is ripe to invest in Oragadam as infrastructure development certainty favours better return in the future.

Good News.

Singadivakkam to Chenglepet Road which passes near Flextronix, Samsung etc and which connects the Oragadam - Walajah Road will be made into 120 Ft road.

It will help long chassis trucks to navigate easily and it will also provide better connectivity from GST Road to NH4.

Description

In a world of increasing population, civilization and industrialization, investment on Land has a productive power. Good times are here again to posses the best land in the Fastest growing destination near Chennai. Propshell, one of the leading players in the real estate business is proud to launch New Port City at Sriperumbudur. New Port City is a collection of 85 Approved Residential Developed Plots ranging from 1350 Sq.Ft – 2400 Sq.Ft. It is one of the projects of Propshell business solutions pvt ltd.

Oragadam is one of the most dull areas in residential projects even though there are two huge projects Hirco and Arun Excello going. Now they are renting out the flats themselves as there are not much takers. Another big project coming up by Tata housing names Cresent Lake homes. Wonder whether the number of employees working around (auto) are much less than the number of flats built. Oragadam is no OMR as of now.

You are under wrong assumptions. Things are changed dramatically. There is huge demand/request from MNC around for quality house for rent and that is the reason Arun excello Temple green arranging rental between owners & company. Now many builders following same sensing opportunity.

But don't you feel renting out is actually a burden rather than selling it off? Considering the investment they put in and interest generated if there is bank loan one would like to sell them all asap. If I'm a reputed builder I would like all my flats being sold out and start even bigger project or multiple projects simultaneously. If there's no one to buy my flats I may rent them out to get at least something rather than nothing.

You got it wrong. Builders are arranging rental agreement between owner & company. There are enough demand in that area since supply is not that high against demand. It is obvious majority of buyers are NRI and only option is renting out and builders themselves arranging this with charges.

Last time when I visited Arun Excello. The sales guy said there are many flats in different blocks that are there for rent and if I liked the flat I may buy it he said.

mr_madras

Residential proposals for lakhs & lakhs of sft in and around SPPDR & Oragadam are in limbo for lack of business.

Even HIRCO & AE have developed only a small portion of the land and balance is still huge.

All these areas will take time......even for people who work there will need a few more years before they are eligible to even buying these homes.

That's why building new cities out of thin air.....will be a dream for at least a few decades.

One of the key things ailing the growth is lack of rail connectivity. Be it metro or IR, it is a good 5 years away minimum from today. (Even if one is a die hard super optimist.. that borders utopia).

Secondly, there has to be a masterplan to make this town self sustaining in all aspects, so it doesnt end up like auto workers colony. Of course there is lots of money flowing for new projects. Nonetheless, the lack of a guided plan for the region can result it either haphazard growth or the region not living up to its potential.

Kannan, already posted some new road widenings to be announced. Thas a plus.

Bottomline aggressive focus on part of SG is super critical. Just for instance, we can borrow a leaf or two the way Maharashtra focussed on Navi Mumbai or Gujarat is focussing on Gandhinagar area.

We already have the basic components to build on.. thats a +ve.

4.14 Oragadam Industrial Park Infrastructure
Development Scheme

Considering the speedy development of Industries in and
around Sriperumpudur in Kancheepuram District, it was
decided in the year 2005-06 to improve the road
infrastructure facilities in Oragadam Industrial Park at an
estimated cost of Rs.300 Crore, and the scheme is under
implementation with the revised estimated cost of Rs.462
Crore.

The following works were taken up for
implementation in the first phase:

a. Singaperumalkoil - Sriperumpudur road (SH-57)
(24.60 Km) – Widening the road from single
lane to four lane.

b. Vandalur – Wallajabad road (SH-48) (33.40 Km)
– Widening the road from two lane to four lane.

c. Construction of a Grade Separator at Oragadam
junction on the Vandalur-Wallajabad road.

These four laning road works were taken up in four
packages as indicated:

i. From Singaperumalkoil to
Oragadam - 12.60 km

ii. From Oragadam to Sriperumpudur
(including formation of bypass to
Ponthur village for a length of 2.39
Km) - 12.00 km

iii. From Vandalur to Oragadam - 16.60 km

iv. From Oragadam to Wallajabad - 16.80 km

Total - 58.00 km


The road works in the first phase have been
completed for a length of 42 Km out of 58 Km. Out of
166 cross drainage works, 122 works have been
completed.

The work of construction of a Grade Separator at
Oragadam junction at a cost of Rs.21.00 Crore was
commenced during April 2010 and has so for executed
for a value of Rs.17 Crore and the remaining work is in
progress. The total expenditure incurred for the
Oragadam Industrial Corridor Project till date is
Rs.330 Crore which includes the expenditure of
Rs.134 Crore for Land acquisition.

The Land acquisition process is expected to be completed
in April 2013 and all the works in the first phase are
likely to be completed by 30.06.2013.

The Government have entrusted the work of “Widening
the stretch from 12/6 to 24/6 in Singaperumalkoil -
Sriperumpudur road from 4 lane to 6 lane” (to a length of
12Km) at an estimated cost of Rs.86.65 Crore to TNRIDC
vide G.O.Ms.No.40, Highways & Minor Ports (HS1)
Department, dated 01.03.2011 under Phase-II for which

Nice contributions DSKSATHISH. Just a small request. There are many who visit TN forums who cannot read Tamil. So it is SSC convention to give a brief synopsis in English for all vernacular postings, esp such newspaper articles.

No need for line by line translation, but brief gist will suffice.

Keep up the good job..:cheers:

These areas have lot of industrial units. But residential facilities are far and between - Big schools, hospitals, markets / shops, restaurants, malls, other entertainment options etc. Also, the public transport scenario is not that great. Hence, the residential development is slower here. Also, this region is a bit more widespread. There are many big roads and distance between SPDR and Oragadam and Vandalur is pretty huge. Even if markets, schools and hospitals come up, their coverage area will be limited. We need lot more of those. So, most of the area around here is still being sold as plots with few big projects here and there. It'll be good, if TN govt. make this a separate satellite city center around Oragadam and brings in dedicated zoning and infra.

On the other hand, OMR is centered around that single road like a spine. And this road has seen an explosion of such facilities. It still needs to develop more in terms of social infrastructure, but its growth has been one of the fastest. Now, with all those facilities in place, the growth can be even faster.

Kone Elevator India's new bigger facility to come up at the Sriperumbudur industrial estate to the west of Chennai. (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/kone-elevator-india-plans-bigger-unit-to-expand-product-base/article4739951.ece)

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTIzsM6utA2H1pIUv1Zl0Q_7uKFM1iLRzaNyQ6K9LTH0RIp6Zd2

Kone Elevator India plans to expand its product base over the next two years when it plans to commission a new factory.

Neeraj Sharma, Managing Director, of the Indian subsidiary of the Finnish elevator manufacturer, said the new factory will be over 18 acres – more than twice as large as the present one on the outskirts of Chennai.

The factory will be commissioned in 2015, he said, while declining to give further details on investment plans and production capacity as the multi-national company has policies against disclosing regional numbers.

However, Kone India employs over 3,000 people, apart from 450 engineers at its research and development facility and back office for its global operations, will generate jobs and expand its offering with more variants, he said.

The new facility to come up at the Sriperumbudur industrial estate to the west of Chennai will also start producing more of the elevator machines and components which will replace import from China and Finland, he said.

Kone is among the top two elevator manufacturers in India with the annual demand estimated at 45,000 elevators and growing at about 10 per cent.

Other large manufacturers include Johnson, Otis and Shindler.

Together, the four companies account for about 60 per cent of the market.
