Chennai Metrolite is a planned 15 km (9.3 mi)Metrolite system inChennai,Tamil Nadu. The line will connectTambaram andVelachery in South Chennai.[2] The system will be constructed and operated byChennai Metro Rail Limited.[1] The stations will be at-grade and the line is planned to link the existingurban transit lines ofChennai Metro andChennai Mass Rapid Transit System.[3]
The system will be designed as perMoHUA's Metrolite specifications and will be cheaper to construct because of its lower speeds and carrying capacities compared to regular metros.[4][1] In 2023, the feasibility study for the project was commissioned by theChennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority.[3]
