 Brief Industrial Profile of Chennai District
1. General Characteristics of the District

Chennai district is one of the important historical districts of the Tamilnadu. Chennai is the
capital city of the State, besides being an important district. The district city is one of the
metropolis of India and serves as the gateway of the culture of South India.

There are different versions about the name of this once sleepy coastal village. When the
British landed here in 1639 A.D. it was said to be part of the empire of the Raja of Chandragiri.
The British named it Chennapattinam, after they acquired it from Chennappa Nayakar. Gradually,
it became Chennai. The first instance of the use of the name Chennai is said to be in the Vestiges of
Old Chennai, the sale deed of August 1639 to Francis Day, an agent for the British. There it has
been referred to as Chennaipatnam.
1.1 Location & Geographical Area
The area of Chennai district is 174 sq.kms as against 130058 sq.kms for the State. The entire
area of the District has been classified as urban.
Chennai is situated on the north-east end of Tamil Nadu on the coast of Bay of Bengal. It lies
between 12* 9' and 13* 9' of the northern latitude and 80* 12' and 80* 19' of the southern longitude
on a `sandy shelving breaker swept beach'. It stretches nearly 25.60 kms, along the Bay coast from
Thiruvanmiyur in the south to Thiruvottiyur in the north and runs inland in a rugged semi-circular
fashion. It is bounded on the east by the Bay of Bengal and on the remaining three sides by
Kanchipuram and Thiruvallur Districts.
1.2 Topography
Chennai is a low-lying area and the land surface is almost flat like a pancake. The even
topography of the land throughout the district renders sub-divisions into natural regions rather
difficult. It rises slightly as the distance from the sea-shore increases but the average elevation of
the city is not more than 22' above mean seal-level, while most of the localities are just at sea-level
and drainage in such areas remains a serious problem.
The city is intersected by two streams, viz, Coovam river and the Adyar. The Coovam river
runs through the heart of the city and enters the sea. The Adyar runs through the south part of the
city and enters the sea.
1
 The Buckingham canal which runs through the states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh is a
navigation canal. This canal runs almost parallel to the Coromandal coast within the limits of 5
kms. from the coast. It joins up a series of natural backwaters and connects all the coastal districts
from Guntur to Cuddalore.
1.3 Availability of Minerals: The district has no mineral resources.
1.4 Forest
The area under reserve forest is 300 hector in which a national park has been formed. Chennai
city today is devoid of forest areas but can still be proud of some of the well maintained green belts
found in the Peoples park, the Napier park, the Horticulture-gardens, my Lady’s park, Children’s
park, Guindy, Snake park, Nehru park, Nageswara Rao park, Independence park, Anna square
park, the Raj Bhavan, the Theosophical Society Campus and a number of bungalows and newly
developed colonies where provisions of public parks, etc., have been provide.
1.5 Administrative set up
Chennai city is governed by the Corporation of Chennai erstwhile, Corporation of Madras,
established in 1688. it consists of 155 councilors who represents 155 wards and are directly elected
by the residents of the city. The area of jurisdiction of the Corporation of Chennai expanded to 426
sq.kms from 174 sq.kms in 2011 and the population increased to 5.6 million from 4.5 million. The
expanded Chennai Corporation is divided into three regions – North, South and Central, with each
of three regions being headed by an IAS officer.
The metropolitan region of Chennai covers 5 parliamentary constituencies and 28 members of
the Legislative Assembly and many suburbs that are part of Kanchipuram and Thiruvallur districts.
The larger suburbs are governed by town municipalities and the smaller once are governed by town
councils called panchayats.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has drafted a Second Master Plan
that aims to develop satellite townships around the city. Contiguous satellite towns include
Mahabalipuram to the south, Chengalpattu and Maraimalai Nagar to the southwest, and
Kanchipuram town, Sriperumpudur, Tiruvallur and Arakkonam to the west.
CHENNAI METRO RAIL Government of Tamil Nadu has decided to implement the Chennai
Metro Rail Project providing the people of Chennai with a fast, reliable, convenient, efficient,
modern and economical mode of public transport, which is properly integrated with other forms of
public and private transport including buses, sub-urban trains and MRTS. The first phase between
Koyambedu to Alandur has already been started.
