Pallavaram Pincode and Map: Everything You Need to Know (2025 Update)
If you're sending a parcel, moving into a new home, running a business, or simply trying to find your way around South Chennai, knowing the correct Pallavaram pincode can save time, money, and confusion.
Pallavaram is a busy and growing area near Chennai Airport. But over the years, its postal system has become more layered. Different parts of Pallavaram use different pincodes, and some maps still show older administrative boundaries. That's why this guide is here—to clear things up.
- Delivering parcels and documents on time
- Locating addresses on a map
- Filling in official forms like Aadhaar, bank KYC, or electricity bills
- Making sure online orders reach the right doorstep
- Planning logistics for courier and transport services
In a place like Pallavaram—which is expanding fast—using the wrong pincode might send your package to the wrong street or delay your order.
- Revenue/Administrative District (2025): Chengalpattu
- Postal Division (India Post): Still often listed under Kanchipuram or Tambaram Division
This means if you're filling a government form, you may see Chengalpattu as the official district. But if you're checking India Post records, it might still say Kanchipuram. That's normal and expected. What matters most is using the correct pincode.
- Pincode: 600043
- Post Office: Pallavaram S.O. (Sub Office)
- Head Office: Tambaram H.O.
- Area Covered: Central Pallavaram, parts of Rajaji Nagar, and stretches along GST Road up to Tirusulam
This is the pincode most people use when they say "Pallavaram." It's also the one used for real estate projects like Prestige Pallavaram Gardens, which sits right in the heart of the neighborhood.
Pallavaram Taluk includes more than just one neighborhood. Below are the nearby areas and their pincodes:
- Old Pallavaram – 600117

To understand how these pincodes fit together, you need a map. A visual layout helps show how Pallavaram and its nearby zones connect through roads, railways, and postal regions.
- 600043: This is the center—covering GST Road, Pallavaram Bus Stand, and Railway Station

- Main Roads:
- GST Road (Grand Southern Trunk Road)
- 200 Feet Radial Road
- Pallavaram–Thuraipakkam Road
- Landmarks on Map:
- Pallavaram Flyover
- Chennai Airport
- Madras Christian College
- Prestige Pallavaram Gardens
- Tirusulam Hills
- Google Maps Pallavaram: Best for current locations, traffic, and pincode boundaries
- India Post Website: Use the pincode locator for post office coverage
- Tambaram Corporation Portal: Updated civic zone maps and ward lists (as of 2025)
- Always use the exact pincode of your street or locality—not just "Pallavaram"
- Double-check with your local post office or delivery app if you're unsure
- For deliveries near airport zones, verify whether it's 600016, 600027, or 600043
- If you're living in a large apartment complex or new project like Prestige Pallavaram Gardens, your builder or resident association can confirm the exact pincode used for that property.
As of January 2025, many areas once managed by village panchayats are now part of Tambaram City Municipal Corporation. This includes:
- Pammal
- Anakaputhur
- Pozhichalur
- Parts of Hasthinapuram
Though this has improved civic services (garbage pickup, road maintenance, metro water), the pincodes remain the same. So don't assume your pincode has changed just because your area now falls under a city corporation.

Pallavaram is a lively, growing part of Chennai. It's close to the airport, filled with schools, homes, shops, and ongoing developments. But its postal setup isn't one-size-fits-all. While 600043 is the main pincode, other areas like Pammal (600075) or Old Pallavaram (600117) have their own identifiers.
Understanding these zones—and using the correct Pallavaram pincode—makes a big difference in your daily life. Whether you're placing an order, shipping a courier, registering a business, or just finding a location, the right code gets it there faster.
