Mogappair is a fast-developing residential neighborhood in north-western Chennai, India. It is located west of the Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Inner Ring Road) and is part of the Ambattur zone(7) of the Chennai Corporation. There are industrial estates to the north and west, namely Padi, Mannurpet and Ambattur.
The abundance of highly reputed schools, specialized hospitals and the recent influx of IT offices in the industrial estates in and around it have catapulted Mogappair into a strategic location for business. The reasonable rents make this a favorite area for aviation crew members, patients visiting the heart specialty hospitals and employees in the IT industry.
The Mangal Lake in the northern part of Mogappair was heavily contaminated by the effluents from the adjoining Ambattur Industrial estate. Today, there has been some reform taken up by Neer Exnora to protect and beautify it. A few decades ago, Mogappair was a small village, a part of which is still intact in the south-western part of Mogappair.
