Kundrathur, once a quiet temple town, is now one of Chennai’s fastest-developing residential corridors. Its location between Porur, Tambaram, Pallavaram, Poonamallee and Sriperumbudur makes it a strategic hub for both end-users and investors. For savvy buyers, plots in Kundrathur are proving to be wealth multipliers, offering far higher returns than apartments or traditional assets.
Exponential Price Appreciation
In 2021, plotted developments in Kundrathur were priced at just Rs2,200–2,800 per sq.ft.. By mid-2025, prices have already climbed to Rs3,800–5,200 per sq.ft., marking a 70–90% increase in 4 years. The average price of investment plots in Kundrathur to Sriperumbudur road is between Rs2,800 and Rs3,000 per sq.ft. now. This is one such locality near Porur where you find the land parcels available for entry-level investors. With the upcoming Metro connectivity, prices are projected to rise another 40–50% by 2028.
Strategic Connectivity
- 20 mins to Porur IT Hub (DLF Cybercity, RMZ Millenia, L&T Tech Park)
- Direct routes to Tambaram, GST Road, and Sriperumbudur industrial hub
- 30 mins to Chennai Airport via Pallavaram
- CMDA’s road widening project to improve arterial connectivity
Low Entry Point, High Growth
Pallavaram plots sell for Rs7,000+ per sq.ft., Porur for Rs8,000+ per sq.ft.. Kundrathur, at Rs2,800–3,200 per sq.ft., offers nearly 55% lower entry cost, but with faster appreciation potential.
End-User Demand Ensures Returns
IT professionals and middle-income families are increasingly choosing independent homes/villas over apartments. Demand for developed plots has fueled both rental yields and resale profits.
Case Study: Investor Success in Kundrathur
Mr. Ramesh, a Chennai-based IT professional, purchased a 1,200 sq.ft. . CMDA-approved plot in Kundrathur in early 2020 for Rs2,400/sq.ft. (Rs28.8 lakhs total). 2024 Resale Value: The same plot is now valued at Rs4,200/sq.ft. (Rs50.4 lakhs total).
Capital Growth: Rs21.6 lakhs gain in just 4 years — ~75% appreciation.
ROI vs Alternatives:
- Bank FD: 24% (6% annually)
- Gold: ~35%
- Kundrathur Plot: 75%+
If held until 2028, with projected growth to Rs6,000+/sq.ft., the asset could be worth Rs72 lakhs+, delivering nearly 2.5X returns in 8 years.
Metro, Industry, and Social Infra Set the Stage
With the Metro expansion (Meenambakkam Airport to Parandur via Poonamallee), industrial corridor growth, and social infrastructure upgrades, Kundrathur is poised to become one of Chennai’s prime plotted investment zones. For investors seeking multifold returns, this is the ideal time to enter—before prices align with Pallavaram or Porur levels.
