The Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC) is a massive infrastructure project designed to boost industrial development and regional integration in South India. It aims to create a thriving industrial belt connecting the major cities of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and Bengaluru, Karnataka.
This is expected to reduce the current commute time between the 2 cities from existing 5 hours to less than 3 hours. This is also part of the larger scheme to get Mumbai & Chennai integrated through high-speed expressways. This will happen once the Pune-Bangalore expressway takes shape in the coming years.
The project involves building highways, railways, and dedicated freight corridors to ensure smooth movement of goods and people. It’s a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative, with both government and private entities contributing to its development.
The CBIC is strategically located near major ports like Chennai, Krishnapatnam, and Ennore, promoting efficient logistics.
Key Benefits Expected
Chennai Bengaluru Industrial Corridor proposes to address the infrastructure bottlenecks by developing high impact/ market driven nodes at strategic locations within the corridor, to provide transparent and investment friendly facility. These regions are proposed to be self-sustained nodes with world-class infrastructure, road and rail connectivity for freight movement to and from ports and logistics hubs, served by reliable power, quality social infrastructure and provide a globally competitive environment conducive for setting up businesses.
The following nodes are being developed under CBIC Project:
The corridor is currently under development and expected to get completed by 2025 and is attracting investments at several of its operational nodes.
