History

In January 2021, Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) began the bidding process for the construction of this Kattupakkam metro station, that spans between Poonamallee Bypass and Porur Junction, a 7.945 km segment forming Corridor 4 within Phase 2 of the Chennai Metro project.

The contract, designated as Package C4-ECV-02, drew prominent interest from a number of prominent infrastructure firms, including Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Tata Projects, Afcons Infrastructure, and lastly with ITD Cementation India Ltd. Following a quite thorough evaluation of all of the technical submissions along with financial bids, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) was declared the lowest bidder, with its proposal meeting both engineering requirements along with cost parameters set by CMRL. Subsequently, the contract was awarded in full to them.

The construction of the station began in 2021. The construction is being funded by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Following the award, they initiated work in line with the project's approved blueprint and execution plan.
