Located on scenic East Coast Road (ECR), mid-way between Chennai and Puducherry, it has proximity to the Auto & Electronic industrial belts of the nation. This strategic ECR stretch is “the growth corridor” of the future and being close to Chennai, has access to world class academia. It is also well connected via road, rail & airport and unlike other industrial clusters, it has all the facilities to foster business. Away from common din of the cities, located at scenic backwaters of ECR, the city is planned in such a way that it harmonizes with nature and offers scenic tranquility and peacefulness to uplift human mind and soul.

LEADING A TREND:

With the growth in Indian population from 1.21 bn to 1.47 bn in 2030 and a current literacy rate of 74%, rejuvenation of existing small urban centres into bustling industrial hubs is a must. Trends show that urban population will grow by 240 mn in the next two decades. On this basis, McKinsey Global Institute Report (Ministry of Agriculture) states that we can easily build 350 cities of 100 sq km without touching the forest area and water bodies through proper planning. These new cities will be essential to tackle urbanization issues like hygiene, pollution and traffic snarls. MARG Swarnabhoomi is only leading this trend and is well on its way to be an innovative ‘people & resource efficient city’ that is attracting global talent.
