About Puducherry, Your Drop Point
Puducherry, capital of the Union Territory of Puducherry, sits on the Tamil Nadu coast roughly 170 km south of Chennai and 38 km from Villupuram, with Cuddalore close by to the south. The city's defining identity comes from over two centuries of French colonial rule, visible today in the French Quarter (White Town), with its grid of heritage streets such as Rue Dumas, colonial-era villas, and the French Consulate, which still anchors Franco-Tamil cultural ties commemorated each year on Bastille Day. Promenade Beach runs along the old town's eastern edge, while the Sri Aurobindo Ashram draws spiritual seekers and tourists from across India and abroad. Tourism, hospitality, and a thriving small-business and education sector built around the ashram and the heritage quarter form the backbone of the local economy, distinguishing Puducherry from the surrounding agricultural towns of Tamil Nadu.
