Ponneri is a taluk headquarters town in Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu, on the banks of the Arani river, about 34 km north of Chennai Central. It is served by Ponneri railway station on the Chennai Central-Gummidipoondi suburban line, making it an important commuter and transit point for the northern Chennai Metropolitan Region, and lies close to Gummidipoondi (15 km north) and Pulicat (20 km). The town is known regionally for Sholavaram Lake, an irrigation tank built before 1877 during British rule, which continues to support farming communities in the surrounding villages and is the focus of an annual boat festival drawing visitors from across the district. Ponneri's position on the Arani river and its rail connectivity have made it a steady administrative and market centre for the dry agricultural belt of northern Tiruvallur district, distinct from the denser industrial suburbs closer to Chennai.
