New Launches in OMR (IT Corridor) (Chennai, 2026)

By Property Point Advisory·Updated September 2026

In short

New launches in OMR (IT Corridor), Chennai are led by IT employment and Metro connectivity. The area averages about ₹9,950 per sq ft (Square Yards locality price-trends page, Jun 2026). New and under-construction projects offer better entry prices and construction-linked payment plans than ready homes, but verify RERA registration and the builder's delivery record before booking.

Why buy a new launch in OMR (IT Corridor)

The Old Mahabalipuram Road (Rajiv Gandhi Salai) is Chennai's IT and residential engine — home to SIPCOT tech parks, top schools and the bulk of the city's new launches, with the metro extension underway.

Early-stage pricing, wider choice of units and staged payments make new launches attractive here — provided the project is fully approved and RERA-registered.

What to verify before booking

  • RERA registration on TNRERA — search the project and promoter
  • The builder's on-time delivery track record
  • Approved plan / FAR sanction and clear title
  • 5% GST applies to under-construction homes (1% affordable)
  • Avoid pre-launch bookings on land without final approvals — a common cause of multi-year delays

Numbers at a glance

  • Average price: about ₹9,950 per sq ft (Square Yards locality price-trends page, Jun 2026)
