Call it a welcome coincidence of growth and development path, the multi-product SEZ at the Nellore district of neighbouring district of Andhra Pradesh close to border of Tamil Nadu and about 55 km from Chennai, promises a lot in terms of development towards the growth and development between the two cities and the coastal areas of the neighbouring states.

The sprawling 5000 acres private city on the National Highway-5, a part of the golden quadrilateral connecting the 4 major metros with well-demarcated industrial zones and an adjacent domestic tariff area in the bordering district of AP is set to have the strategic advantage of sharing a proximate corridor with Sriperumbadur autocomponent cluster—outer of Chennai and manufacturing cluster units near Gummidipoondi and other manufacturing industries—located north of Chennai. The upcoming city is also close by to 3 sea ports and 2 airports with 2 sea ports having closer access to the Ennore (40 km) and Chennai port (65 km) and with one international airport (75 km) also in Chennai.
