The total length of the corridor will be 43.63 km, covering 19 stations and it will be built at an estimated cost of ₹10,712 crore.
At present, Chennai Metro Rail’s phase II project being constructed now will have a station at Poonamallee and it will be ready in the next two years. The Poonamallee station is a part of corridor 4 of the phase II project and links Poonamallee with Light House. This corridor will be extended from Poonamallee upto Parandur.
