Towards the end of 2009, it was announced that the Chennai Corporation would be expanded to cover the surrounding 42 local bodies.

Nanganallur has a roller skating rink on 100 Feet Road near the Civil Aviation Colony, which was developed on a 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m²) open ground by the Alandur Municipality.

Nanganallur is connected by suburban trains at nearby railway station Palavanthangal and Meenambakkam and also through MTC city buses.

The inner ring road from Thillai Ganga Nagar Subway connects Nanganallur to Velachery and is a major lifeline to the people for commuting to the city during the monsoons.

AS Nangallur lacks frequent bus services, residents have been relying on sub-urban trains plying through Pazhavanthangal station as their only means of quick and reliable transport.

With no direct buses to Velachery (which is a stone's throw away), Nanganallur has become cut off from all major parts of the city with accessibility restricted to only commuters with private modes of transport.
