Padur: OMR's Last Affordable Zone
Padur sits 40 km south of Chennai's CBD at the southern terminus of the OMR IT corridor, adjacent to the Siruseri SIPCOT IT Park and the Mahabalipuram Highway junction. Until recently, Padur was purely a transit point — but the SIPCOT employment explosion and OMR's supply crunch have driven developer attention to Padur's large available land parcels.
Price Snapshot (2026)
- OMR frontage near Padur junction: ₹5,800–₹6,200 per sqft
- Interior Padur streets: ₹4,800–₹5,500 per sqft
- Panchayat-approved layouts: ₹4,500–₹5,000 per sqft
- 2BHK (950 sqft): ₹46–₹60 lakh
SIPCOT IT Park: The Employment Anchor
Siruseri SIPCOT is 3–5 km from Padur's residential clusters, employing 65,000+ IT professionals. As Siruseri's immediate residential zone becomes built-up, Padur is the natural next destination for workers seeking affordable housing within 15 minutes of the park gate.
Infrastructure Pipeline
- South Chennai Peripheral Road connecting Padur to ECR and GST Road — under construction
- NHAI four-laning of OMR from Siruseri to Mahabalipuram — funded and phased
- Proposed OMR Metro extension (post-2028) with tentative station near Padur
Buyer Advisory
Strictly buy DTCP-approved layouts only — several panchayat-level developments in Padur have unclear title histories. Social infrastructure is nascent; plan for 20–30 minute drives to Sholinganallur for hospitals and established schools. Best suited for investors with a 5–7 year horizon or IT workers employed at SIPCOT who need affordable first homes.
