Ambattur, Industrial neighborhood in Chennai, India.

Ambattur stretches across 40 square kilometers of northwestern Chennai, bordered by Avadi, Anna Nagar, Korattur, and several other districts.

The area transformed from an agricultural village centered around Ambattur Lake into a major industrial hub following World War II with TI Cycle factory establishment.

The name derives from Tamil language meaning fifty-first temple village, with most residents following Hinduism and celebrating festivals like Pongal and Diwali.

The Ambattur Railway Station connects to Chennai's suburban network while numerous bus routes provide transportation throughout the metropolitan area.

The Ambattur Industrial Estate, established in 1964, encompasses 1,430 acres and contains 1,800 small-scale industries, positioning it among South Asia's largest industrial zones.
