Chennai Metro Rail plans to have two small shopping malls soon—one at Arumbakkam station and the other at Ekkatuthangal station. According to a source from the officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), they have chalked out a plan to build the small shopping malls near these two stations and plan to call for tenders soon. The company has identified lands near both these stations and approached the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority for approval; they may get it anytime now. This move of CMRL will bring in a fresh business opportunity for the signage companies dealing in in-shop designs, displays and such activities.
