According to an MTC statement, the Avadi terminus is undergoing modernisation under a Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) initiative aimed at creating a more modern and commuter-friendly facility. With construction now underway, buses that usually start from the existing terminus will operate from a temporary facility set up on MTH Road, approximately 100 metres across from the current terminus.

The corporation also confirmed that the monthly season ticket counter will be shifted to the same temporary location, ensuring that passengers can continue to purchase passes without disruption. MTC has requested commuters to take note of the temporary arrangements and plan their journeys accordingly while the redevelopment work is in progress.
