As part of the Chennai Corporation's likely expansion of digital mapping initiative, the municipalities that may come under Corporation limits are Kathivakkam, Tiruvottiyur, Manali, Madhavaram, Ambattur, Maduravoyal, Valasaravakkam, Alandur and Ullagaram-Puzhudhivakkam.

The town panchayats identified are Chinna Sekkadu, Puzhal, Porur, Nandambakkam, Meenambakkam, Perungudi, Pallikaranai and Sholinganallur.

The panchayat unions are Edayanchavady, Sadayankuppam, Kattapakkam, Theeyampakkam, Mathur, Vada Perumbakkam, Surapet, Kathirvedu, Puthagaram, Nolambur, Karambakkam, Nerkundram, Ramapuram, Mugaliwakkam, Manapakkam, Kottivakkam, Palavakkam, Neelankarai, Injambakkam, Karapakkam, Okkiam Thoraipakkam, Madipakkam, Jaladampet, Semmanchery and Uthandi.

The Corporation would have to collect data on non-spatial attributes and integrate them with base maps for better management, planning, administration and decision-making and augment its revenue through collection of property tax. The utility mapping project of the Planning Commission was formulated to create large-scale digital maps with data on water, electricity, sewage, police and fire superimposed on them with the support of service agencies.
