Chennai Airport

Alamadi village, north of Chennai, and Sungavarchatram near Sriperumpudur are the two sites for the new airport. Alamadi village is about 8 km from Red Hills and 30 km northwest of Chennai. One of the reasons for considering this location for the project is the site's proximity to the proposed Outer Ring Road. In the case of Sungavarchatram, it is close to Chennai-Bangalore highway.

The other important criterion for considering these two sites for evalution is the presence of large tracts of government land.

According to the source, the Government is keen to avoid acquisition problems. Other places in and around Sriperumpudur are fraught with acquisition issues since most of them are patta lands.
