Madhavaram, a zone in Greater Chennai Corporation located between Kolathur (Koyambedu) to Manali on and off the 100’ Jawaharlal Nehru Inner ring road. Madhavaram is also located laterally between Perambur and Red Hills.

It is a central junction where 2 main roads intersect – the highway to Hyderabad and Kolkata intersects with the ring road of Chennai. Owning a warehouse in Madhavaram is an ideal location. CMDA has developed the truck terminal at Madhavaram which is larger than 100 acres. The main stand servicing Andhra Pradesh is also located now at Madhavaram.

North Chennai generally is referred to as Madhavaram. All other areas are lesser-known in North Chennai and clients, tenants and investors refer to the entire zone starting from Madhavaram going up to Cholavaram (also spelt as Sholavaram) as Madhavaram.

Madhavaram has regions of Kathirvedu, Lakshmipuram, Madhavaram, and Madhavaram milk colony, Mathur, Ponniammanmedu, Puthagaram, Puzhal, Surapet, and Redhills.

Manpower and Labour for factories and warehouse in Madhavaram are available in the vicinity. It is well connected by road and a number of company buses transport employees to and fro various areas as well. All these factors make it ideal to source godown in Madhavaram for Rent / Sale.

Madhavaram is Chennai’s first Warehousing Hub and is soon to be connected by the Metro rail and is an upcoming residential location. Madhavaram is developing rapidly, realtors and investors are showing increasing interest to invest in this part of the city, making Madhavaram an ideal location to be converted for residential development and this shift has taken up rental and land pricing in Madhavaram.

The landmark of Madhavaram, the Madhavaram Dairy in Madhavaram Milk Colony, is equipped to handle 5 lakh litres of milk every day. Madhavaram Dairy distributes milk to consumers of North Chennai. Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Central Palmgur and Palm Products Institute, West Cancer Trust make Madhavaram a star of a suburb. ESPEE IT Park, Bristol IT Park, and Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corp. Ltd is located at Madhavaram. Calm, clean roads with lush greenery make Madhavaram an ideal spot for residential projects as well.  

The Land values in Madhavaram have jumped from 1 crore per acre in 2006 now to Rs 10 Crs per acre in 2021 thereby making Madhavaram unviable for industrial development or for warehousing today. The Rental values are  Rs 15 to Rs 25 per sqft currently for Godown in Madhavaram depending on the specification.

The locations close to Madhavaram that suit warehousing today with reasonable financial viability for both landlords (investors) and also tenants with a land value of under 2.5 crores per acre are towards:

The Port: Vallur, Athipattu, Nandiambakkam, Kattupalli

Sri City/ Tada: Arambakkam, Thonduru, Chilamathur, Moprupalli

Interior Madhavaram: Vadaperumbakkam, Kosapur, Manjambakkam, Ariyalur, Milk Colony

Interior Red Hills: Alamathy and Koduvalli towards Tamaraipakkam and Tiruvallur which is now the fastest-growing zone for warehousing in North Chennai and 

Alongside the 400’ road in Budur, Sothupakkam, towards Manali

Therefore warehousing, godowns and manufacturing are moving a little away from the main Madhavaram which is turning into an urban zone. The shift away from the main Madhavaram is imminent. The challenges faced for warehousing tenants in North Chennai are 

• better roads and infrastructure, 
• parking facilities, 
• daytime access for heavy vehicles, 
• pollution from coal, oil and cement companies closer to the port, 
• toll charges at Sholavaram and 400’ Outer ring road 
• very low rental expectation and high land values
• old sheds without any compliances and approvals 
• sheds built at ground level
• low height sheds 
• multi-level RCC buildings without cargo lifts/ hoists
