About this locality

Pincode 600017 covers Thyagaraya Nagar (T Nagar), the shopping capital of South Bharat and one of the highest-revenue retail districts in Asia. The concentration of silk saree showrooms (Nalli, Kumaran, Pothys and dozens more), gold jewellery houses and textile emporia along Usman Road and Ranganathan Street draws shoppers from across Bharat and the Tamil diaspora worldwide. T Nagar was developed in the 1920s as a planned suburb and evolved into the commercial phenomenon it is today.

SO

Sub Office

Serves as the link between the Head Office and last-mile delivery. Oversees a group of Branch Offices.

BO

Branch Office

The last-mile delivery point for a locality. Serves individual households and businesses directly.
