About Oragadam

Less than 8km from Sriperumbudur, Oragadam is becoming a twin town of Sriperumbudur. Six-lane highway road (SH57) is being constructed that connects Oragadam and Sriperumbudur. Now, Oragadam is witnessing dramatic growth predominantly due to investments from leading automobile players of the world - Apollo Tyres, Daimler, Nissan, Renault, to name a few.

Tamil nadu government is building Rs.300-crore Oragadam Industrial Corridor Road. The project, executed by the Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation and funded through the State Highways Department, is expected to give a thrust to industrial activity in the Oragadam-Sriperumbudur clusters. It will also provide additional connectivity between Grand Southern Trunk Road (National Highway 45) and Grand Western Trunk Road (NH 4 or Bangalore Highway).

Under the project, two roads will be upgraded - State Highway 48 between Vandalur and Wallajahbad and State Highway 57 between Singaperumal Koil and Sriperumbudur. The project has been split into four packages - S.P. Koil to Oragadam; Oragadam to Sriperumbudur; Vandalur to Oragadam and from there to Wallajahbad.

In addition, a grade separator will be built at Oragadam, at the intersection of roads leading to the other four places. A sum of Rs.182 crore has been earmarked for the 24.6-km road between S.P. Koil and Sriperumbudur and 81.74 hectares of land in 28 villages will be acquired for expansion on this stretch.

In the first phase, the entire stretch will be converted as a four-lane highway and later, the segment between Oragadam and Sriperumbudur alone would be converted into a six-lane segment considering the phenomenal increase in traffic on this stretch in the past few years
