History

The plan for a new railway Station at Kilambakkam arose from the need to enhance connectivity for the newly established Kilambakkam bus terminus, a crucial transport hub for south-bound long-distance travel from Chennai aiming to offer last-mile connectivity to commuters.^[3]

With a funding of ₹20 crore provided by the Government of Tamil Nadu through CMDA, the Southern Railway started construction. The station is planned to be opened by May 2025.^[1][4]

Developments

To further streamline passenger movement between the station and the bus terminus, the CMDA also plans for the construction of a skywalk to the station.^[5]
