Chennai Metro Phase II Faces Delays in Opening Key Corridors and Stations
The Chennai Metro Phase II project faces delays in inaugurating key stretches. The 14.6 km Poonamallee-Vadapalani corridor has received safety clearance but remains unopened as six stations are incomplete, with expected completion by late September. Meanwhile, the Koyambedu-Alandur stretch, initially planned for June, is delayed by about eight months due to construction challenges and worker shortages, with an anticipated opening early next year. Officials cite technical and logistical difficulties affecting progress on both corridors.
