Tamilnadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited (TIDCO) & State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu Limited (SIPCOT) Jointly formed a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in the name of “Tamilnadu Polymer Industries Park Limited (TPIPL)” for setting up of the park. The SPV identified 265.66 acres of land in Puzhudivakkam and Voyalur Villages, Tiruvallur District close to Ennore Port which is in possession of TIDCO for the establishment of the park.

The Athipattu railway station is the nearest railway station which is located 3.30 km from the proposed project site, connecting Ennore port to athipattu.

port

Port

There are 3 ports located near the proposed project site namely Ennore Port at 5 kms, Kattupalli Port at 6 kms, Chennai Port at 26 kms.

Road network

border-line

Internal Road:

To ensure that all parts of the site are effectively connected with each other along with efficient traffic movements, a primary road of 3.6 km length of main carriageway with a ROW of 30m width connecting the two entries / exit is proposed. Further, 286.70m internal road with ROW of 30m and 604.50m internal road with ROW of 24m wide is proposed providing access to all the plots in the park.

External Road:

The park can be approached thorough the proposed the Northern Port Access Road, which is located on the northern edge of the Polymer Industries Park. Alternatively, the park can also be reached through ash pipeline road at the south which needs to be upgraded for better accessibility to the park. Accordingly, it is proposed to develop a road of 2.20 km length with a ROW of 24m width from Ash pipeline road to NCTPS road which in turn connects to SH-56.

Storm water drainage system

border-line

A key design aspect of the Park would be the storm water disposal. Considering the topographic features and the levels at the site, a network of storm water drains parallel to the road network&(i.e.) for around 5.70 Km is provided to drain the storm water.

Water

The total available water for the park is 2.5 MLD. Chennai Metro Water Supply and Sewage Board (CMWSSB) and Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) Desalination Plant have been identified as sources of water.

Since, CPCL desalination plant is located close to the site; the same will be utilized for sourcing required water for the park.

Power

The Power requirement of the Park will be supplied by Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Co Limited (TANGEDCO) from the Athipattu 230/110/33 KV substation which is located closer to the project site.

Buildings and Common Enabling Facilities
