Perambur is a neighbourhood located in the northern region of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

This neighbourhood is well connected to all parts of Chennai by bus services operated by the Metropolitan Transport Corporation.

Its proximity to the Chennai Central railway station makes it an important transport hub.

Perambur has a notable railway town in the Indian Railways landscape as it is home to the Vande Bharat Express, produced at the Integral Coach Factory located here and also the presence of Chennai Rail Museum, in addition to the railway station serving to decongest the Chennai Central station by serving as a major alighting point for long distance trains passing through or terminating in the city from the North-Western end.

ICF, Chennai is also home to Vande Bharat Express also known as Train 18, the indigenously produced trainset of the Indian Railways.

Perambur has Chennai's first disco waterpark — Murasoli Maran Park — which is crowded on weekends and special occasions.

Perambur Railway Stadium is frequented for athletic events, annual sports meets and training sessions.

Furthermore, DMK lost in the consecutive 2001 elections (although its ally Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) retained Perambur constituency) which led to a further stalemate for the project.

After DMK came back to power in 2006, it started working on the project once again, but this time with an even more shooting up of the proposed cost.

It is 1.3 km in length and 13 meters high from the ground, and is one of the tallest bridges in Chennai after Kathipara, Guindy.
