About Tambaram, Your Drop Point
Tambaram is a major suburb in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, located about 30 km south of Chennai Central along the GST Road corridor toward Chennai International Airport. It is best known as the home of Madras Christian College, founded in 1837 and one of Asia's oldest extant colleges, which moved to its sprawling 365-acre wooded Tambaram campus in 1937 and hosted the landmark 1938 Tambaram Conference that helped found the World Council of Churches. The town is also anchored by Tambaram railway station, one of the busiest junctions on the Chennai Beach-Chengalpattu suburban line and a terminus for several long-distance trains, which has driven the town's growth from a railway settlement into one of Chennai's busiest residential and transit suburbs. Tambaram is also home to Air Force Station Tambaram, a historic Indian Air Force base whose founders' day open events draw families from across the surrounding neighbourhoods. The town's rail and road connectivity, along with its cluster of engineering colleges along GST Road, have made it a hub for daily commuter and corporate travel.
