			In 2007, the State Government announced the upgradation of Erode Municipality as a Municipal Corporation. Erode City Municipal Corporation started functioning in 2008, administering the same civic limit of 8.4 km<sup>2</sup> covering only the Central Business District with a population of about 1,59,728. In 2011, four Municipalities (Grade-III) of [[Surampatti]], [[Veerappan Chatram]], [[Periya Semur]], [[Kasipalayam (E)\|Kasipalayam]] and the Town Panchayats of [[BP Agraharam]] and [[suriyampalayam]] along with [[Thindal]], [[Villarasampatti]], [[Gangapuram, Erode\|Gangapuram]], [[Ellapalayam]], [[Lakkapuram]], [[46 Pudur]] and [[Muthampalayam]] village panchayats were proposed to be merged with Erode City Municipal Corporation. Later, [[Lakkapuram]] and [[46 Pudur]] Panchayats backed up the plan and the Erode City Municipal Corporation expanded to all other civic bodies, over an area of 109.52 km² lying between River [[Cauvery]] in the East and [[National Highway 544 (India)\|NH-544]] Bypass in the West, containing more than half-a-million population as per the census of 2011.

			Recently, in 2024, the district administration submitted a proposal to the state government for the expansion of Erode municipal corporation by merging the adjoining village panchayats of Erode Panchayat Union (Kathirampatti, Mettunasuvampalayam) and Modakkurichi Panchayat Union (Elavamalai, 46 Pudur).
