Government Estate is an underground metro station on the North-South Corridor of the Blue LineofChennai MetroinChennai, India. This station serves the neighbourhoods of Chepauk, Triplicane and Chintadripet. The station is named so because of the presence of the Omandurar Government Estate in the vicinity. This metro station is very much useful for visitors to Ritchie Street and Ellis Road which are two very big commercial streets in Chennai city. The station was opened for public on 10 February 2019. However, some portions of the construction work remains incomplete on the date of inauguration.[1]
