*Industries:
A number of medium and small-scale industrial developments have come up in the areas
zoned for industrial development at Madhavaram, Vyasarpadi, Kodungaiyur, Ambattur, Noombal, Pammal and Perungudi. Industrial estates at Villivakkam, Thirumazhisai and an exclusive one for women entrepreneurs near Avadi have been developed. Income studies have shown that the contribution of the tertiary sector has steadily increased.
*Traffic and Transportation:
As regards traffic and transportation projects, MRTS has been completed from Chennai beach upto Velachery and the stretch between Thiruvanmiyur and Velachery will be put into operation shortly. The FMP estimated that the MRTS would considerably ease
the congestion in the City. But the patronage has been far below expectations. Poor accessibility, inadequate inter-modal transfer facilities, lack of coordination among different agencies and delay in providing the link to St. Thomas Mount are some of the issues that have to be addressed immediately. The Velachery- St Thomas Mount link has now been taken up. Electrification and optimization of suburban transport system in the western and northern corridors has been completed.
