Chennai, formerly known as Madras, is a historical city of contrasts. It is infused with tradition, yet is astonishingly modern in its approach. Located on the Coromandel Coast, off the Bay of Bengal, it is the fourth largest city in India and the commercial and cultural soul of the south. The stunning beaches, museums, filter coffee, and fragrance of jasmine flowers in the air make tourists instantly fall in love with the subtlety of this place.
Chennai, also popularly known as the “Detroit of South Asia”, boasts major automobile manufacturing units and other related industries that have created their own niche here. The influx of such companies has directly led to a surge in the ownership of motor vehicles in the city. A recent survey confirms that Chennai has the third largest number of owned-bikes in the country - with a huge number of two wheelers hitting the roads everyday.
