Perungulathur and Peerkankaranai are twin towns which share and complement much of their resources and infrastructures alike. It is well connected by rail and road links.[2] TransportationThe proximity of Tambaram railway junction and Arignar Anna Zoological Park in Vandalur has given Perungalathur good connectivity with places like Chennai, Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram. Industrial estates like Guindy, Maraimalai Nagar, Padappai, Oragadam and Sriperumbudur are easily accessible via road or rail. Residents of adjoining areas like Peerkankaranai, Sadanandhapuram, Old Perungulathur Annai Indra Nagar and RMK Nagar avail transport facilities from Perungulathur.

Southern Railway is currently renovating and expanding the station, including extension of platforms. The two existing platforms were laid during the British era when most trains had nine compartments and are now being extended to accommodate 12-car trains. Currently, over 10,000 commuters use the station daily. All 84 suburban trains halting at the station have 12 compartments. A new rail line exclusively for express trains is also planned.[4] LakesThe town has two lakes, one in Peerkankaranai, adjacent to NH-45 and another Perungulathur lake behind the Vedanta Desika Srinivasa Perumal Temple. Much of Peerkankaranai Lake was filled during the widening of NH-45 highway and the remaining area is shrinking due to dumping of solid wastes and encroachments. Perungulathur Lake, spread over an area of 55 acres,[5] gives the name to this town meaning "A Place with Big pond" (Perum – Kulam – Urr).[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archivedate=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|accessdate=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.southernrailway.org/sutt/index.htm|title=Train Timings from / to Perungalathur.|publisher=Southern Railways}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mtcbus.org/Places.asp|title=Stage wise Info from / to Perungalathur|publisher=MTC Chennai}} 4. ^{{cite news | last = Madhavan | first = D. | coauthors = | title = Perungalathur railway stn in makeover mode | newspaper = The Times of India epaper | location = Chennai | pages = | language = | publisher = The Times Group | date = 2 January 2012 | url = http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOICH/2012/01/02&PageLabel=3&EntityId=Ar00302&ViewMode=HTML | accessdate = 3 Jan 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news | last = Madhavan | first = T. | title = Perungalathur lake to get a facelift | newspaper = The Hindu | location = Chennai | pages = | language = | publisher = Kasturi & Sons | date = 3 August 2017 | url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/perungalathur-lake-to-get-a-facelift/article19411029.ece | access-date = 6 August 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cmi.ac.in/gift/Epigraphy/epig_tambarammore.htm|title=More inscriptions from the Tambaram area.|publisher=Madras Christian College Magazine, Vol. 44, 1975}} Further reading
