Chennai Metrolite is a planned 15 km (9.3 mi)
The system will be designed as per MoHUA's Metrolite specifications and will be cheaper to construct because of its lower speeds and carrying capacities compared to regular metros.[4][1] In 2023, the feasibility study for the project was commissioned by the Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority.[3]
