Property for Sale & Rent in Taramani, Chennai

Living in Taramani

Taramani is the tech hub at the start of OMR, home to Tidel Park, the IIT Madras Research Park, the CSIR campus and several large IT and research offices. It sits between Velachery, Adyar, Perungudi and Thiruvanmiyur, with its own MRTS station. For anyone working at Tidel Park or the northern OMR offices, living in Taramani means a walk or a five-minute ride to work.

Getting around

• MRTS: Taramani station on the Velachery to Chennai Beach line, with Tidel Park and Perungudi stations next to it.
• Roads: the Taramani link road to Velachery, OMR to Adyar and Sholinganallur, and the Sardar Patel Road side through IIT Madras to Guindy.
• Buses: frequent services along OMR and the link road to Velachery, Adyar and the city.
• Airport: about 25 to 35 minutes via Velachery and GST Road.

Daily life

Restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and clinics cluster around Tidel Park and the link road, with the malls and hospitals of Velachery and the shops of Adyar minutes away. The IIT Madras campus and the Guindy National Park keep part of the area green. The inner Taramani streets and the Kanagam side are residential.

Homes you will find

Apartments in older low-rise blocks and newer towers, a strong market for PG rooms and shared flats for young IT employees and students, and a few independent houses on the inner streets. Rents are high for the size because of the walk-to-work demand, and furnished rooms let fastest.

Checks before you buy or rent here

• Water: tanker dependence is common; ask the association.
• PG rules: for PG rooms, confirm what is included, the notice period and the house rules in writing.
• Documents: planning permission and completion certificate for flats.
