Chennai is the largest industrial and commercial center of south Indiaand a major cultural, educational, and economic center. It is well knownfor its developed automobile industry and a rapidly growing number offinancial services and information technology companies. Industrialdevelopments and increased economic activities have attracted peoplefor better livelihood and employment opportunities. According to theChennai Master Plan 2026, the population is expected to reach 12.5million by 2026.
