Which part of the OMR IT corridor is Thoraipakkam

Thoraipakkam is situated in the central section of Phase 1 along Rajiv Gandhi Salai (OMR / State Highway 49A), positioned precisely 11.5 kilometers south of Madhya Kailash in Adyar and 5.5 kilometers north of Sholinganallur. Falling under Zone 14 (Perungudi) of the Greater Chennai Corporation, it marks the exact middle junction of the expressway between Perungudi to the north and Karapakkam to the south. It acts as the geographic divider separating the mature, inner tech clusters of Taramani from the southern enterprise zones of Siruseri SIPCOT.

The main road link is the 200 Feet Pallavaram–Thoraipakkam Radial Road, which connects OMR to GST Road and Chennai International Airport. The airport is about 13.8 km west of the area.

Line 3 runs down the middle of OMR and has a raised metro stop built right at Thoraipakkam.

The open flyover at the radial road crossing also lets cars glide past the old signal without waiting in line.

Connecting OMR to Radial Road: Housing Growth and TVS Emerald Avalon

Because Thoraipakkam sits in such a handy spot, housing demand here stays high, pushing new home projects onto the connected 200 Feet Pallavaram–Thoraipakkam Radial Road. Land along the main highway is almost filled up, making this wide radial road the top pick for modern gated communities.

A leading community built right on this corridor is TVS Emerald Avalon, a 12.44-acre gated neighborhood built by TVS Emerald along the radial link. It gives IT staff working along OMR a fresh home base while keeping the airport and GST Road within easy reach. See the full TVS Emerald Avalon location, address and map.

The community comes with over 35 daily amenities, including a big clubhouse, swimming pool, gym, badminton court, play spaces for kids, and walking tracks. Staying on this radial link lets residents skip the morning traffic jams on the main OMR while staying just an 8- to 10-minute drive from their office desk in Thoraipakkam.
