Is Kelambakkam a Good Place to Invest? (Chennai, 2026)

By Property Point Advisory·Updated September 2026

In short

Kelambakkam in Chennai: OMR's fast-emerging southern anchor. No reliable published average exists for Kelambakkam, so judge each project on its own price sheet. Whether it is a good buy depends more on the project, the entry price and your horizon than on the area alone.

The investment case

Kelambakkam anchors the far end of OMR near SIPCOT Phase-2, offering value pricing, education hubs and rapid infrastructure catch-up.

Demand here is driven by OMR & SIPCOT Phase-2, Kelambakkam–ECR link, Metro Phase-2 terminus (planned).

Risks to check

  • Metrowater vs borewell; also verify the plot is outside CRZ and flood/swamp zones
  • Project approvals, RERA registration and clear title
  • Whether current prices already bake in future infrastructure
