Infrastructure and connectivity

Buses which ply to or through Nanganallur are 52L, 52K, 52P, M18C, M18N, M21G, M154B, M1A, MN45B, M152N. Three or four mini buses are introduced in Nanganallur route. Access from the city is through the main road from the Grand Southern Trunk Road at the Trident Hotel Junction, just north of the airport. Nanganallur has two Subways Palavanthangal and Thillai Ganga Nagar to connect to GST road, But heavy rains could create problems for residents to reach the city by usually flooding the Palavanthangal subway. The inner ring road from Thillai Ganga Nagar Subway connects Nanganallur to Velachery and is a major lifeline to the people for commuting to the city during the monsoons.
There are two railway stations serving the neighbourhood, namely, the Palavanthangal railway station and the Meenambakkam railway station. Most people in the neighbourhood use Palavanthangal railway station to reach Nanganallur. The nearest Chennai Metro railway station is Nanganallur road. Meenambakkam Metro also near to south west Area of Nanganallur.
The problem of connectivity from Nanganallur to GST and other main parts of the city has been a long-standing one. AS Nangallur lacks frequent bus services, residents have been relying on sub-urban trains plying through Pazhavanthangal station as their only means of quick and reliable transport. With no direct buses to Velachery (which is a stone's throw away), Nanganallur has become cut off from all major parts of the city with accessibility restricted to only commuters with private modes of transport.
