Wondering how the metro stations are likely to get named? Here is your answer: the stations are to be named after the companies that are functional in close proximities. These will generally be big brands or companies.

CMRL has approved to give semi-naming with the names of companies that will be used as prefix to station names. For the naming of corridor 1 and 2 of phase-1, the CMRL has rolled out tenders.

This is an aim to make extra non-ticketing revenue, say metro officials. Based on the locality of stations, so far, the naming of metro stations are being done. And when a company winds a bid, its name shall be added as the prefix of the metro station, say metro sources.

Likewise, in the phase-2 of Chennai metro rail project, especially the stations along OMR for corridor-5 and for corridor-4, names along with that of private company names and hospitals will be attached.
