Taramani: Chennai's Original IT Address

Taramani sits in the southern part of Chennai, wedged between Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, and Velachery, and has grown into one of the city's most recognised technology and business hubs. Located along the OMR Road, Taramani is a developed neighborhood that is home to the first tech park in Chennai. Numerous government educational and research organisations as well as the first IT parks in the city are located here, including world-class parks like Tidel Park, TICEL Biotech Park, ASCENDAS, and Elnet Software City.

The locality's transformation from open land to a corporate hub is closely tied to Old Mahabalipuram Road. Old Mahabalipuram Road serves as the main thoroughfare in Tharamani, and though it was originally the primary route to Mahabalipuram, it is now known as the IT corridor. Adding to its academic and cultural credentials, Taramani is also home to the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and the MGR Film City, an integrated film studio complex. Taramani is also bordered by one of the seven IITs, the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

DLF has been a defining presence in this transformation. DLF Downtown Chennai is a premium commercial development offering high-quality office space in Tharamani, positioned close to OMR and Perungudi, two of the city's most active IT corridors. Spanning an expansive 28-acre campus and around 7 million sq. ft. of state-of-the-art office spaces, the development includes an operational Phase 1 and an upcoming Phase 2. This scale of development has pulled in residential demand, and today Tharamani is recognised as a part of Chennai's IT Corridor and a thriving housing hub, hosting the International Tech Park, Ramanujan Tech Park, and TIDEL Park.

On the residential front, the average transaction rate of a flat in Taramani is around Rs 12,820 per sq ft, while independent houses trade at roughly Rs 4,200 per sq ft. New ready-to-move housing options in the area include Indu Akshara, Real Value Sai Peace and Prosperity, and Navins Jasmine Buds. With its mix of established IT campuses, research institutions, and steady housing demand, Taramani continues to be one of South Chennai's most balanced live-work locations.
