Siruseri IT park [edit]

The Padur area within Siruseri contains SIPCOT IT Park, a technology park. State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd., SIPCOT, has developed an Information Technology Park in 1,000 acres (4 km2) of land at Siruseri Village. The IT park is the largest IT park in Asia about 30 km on OMR from Chennai City, in the Cyber Corridor for allotment of land to IT Companies, who wish to build their own campuses. This park proposes to have all basic infrastructure facilities like separate Sub-Station for power supply, separate telephone exchange and High Speed Data Connectivity. Several IT companies have already booked land in this facility and some companies have already started building their campuses

Housing [edit]

An international housing township spread over 100 acres (0.4 km2) with about 6,000 apartments was supposed to come up in Siruseri being built by Singapore Realty Private Limited. But due to legal issues raised by DMK the plan has been dropped.

The areas in and around Siruseri have seen unprecedented growth in the last few years. Srinivasa Nagar is a prominent housing complex in the area, that consists mainly of plots owned by affluent NRIs. With Padma Seshadri school starting a branch in Siruseri and the IT boom, land prices in Siruseri have been skyrocketing and are only expected to go up further.

Siruseri's main bus stop is on Old Mahabalipuram Road, outside the SIPCOT IT Park, between Padur and Egattur areas. Buses that stop here are:
