The images and its description in the infobox can be changed into more appealing and reader friendly way as in various city articles such as Mumbai, New York, Los Angeles where each image has its short description right below it. And also Chennai can be categorized as Megacity rather than Metropolis as it is listed as one of the megacities of India. Iambatman2022 (talk) 11:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An easy typo: In the etymology section it should clearly say 1639 and not 1939. Arbitrer (talk) 20:51, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article would benefit from a little addition of the Bombardment of Madras (1914) in the history section
In 1914 the German cruiser Emden bombarded the oil tanks in Madras and set them aflame, killing some civilians and damaging structures in the city. The ship got away completely unscathed despite being shelled from shore batteries in Madras. Someone with more Wikipedia expertise could add this as I am inexperienced.
