Tamil Nadu seeks new site for Chennai's second airport after Parandur plan shelved

Tamil Nadu is exploring alternative locations for a second airport serving Chennai after the Parandur project was set aside. The state is evaluating multiple viable sites to address capacity constraints at the existing airport.

Cheyyur in Chengalpattu district and Gummidipoondi in Tiruvallur district have emerged as the leading options. The state will need to undertake detailed assessments of both locations before proceeding with formal approval processes.
