Chennai Metrolite is a planned 15 km (9.3 mi) Metrolite system in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The line will connect Tambaram and Velachery in South Chennai.[2] The system will be constructed and operated by Chennai Metro Rail Limited.[1] The stations will be at-grade and the line is planned to link the existing urban transit lines of Chennai Metro and Chennai Mass Rapid Transit System.[3]
The system will be designed as per MoHUA's Metrolite specifications and will be cheaper to construct because of its lower speeds and carrying capacities compared to regular metros.[4][1] In 2023, the feasibility study for the project was commissioned by the Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority.[3]
