'''Mugalivakkam''' is a neighbourhood of [[Chennai]]. It is situated 16 km south-west of [[Chennai]] on the [[Mount-Poonamallee Road]]. It is bounded by [[Porur]] on the north, [[Meenambakkam]] on the south and south east, and [[Ramapuram, Chennai|Ramapuram]] on the north east directions. The nearest railway station is at [[Guindy]] which is about 6 kilometres away. Porur junction is around 2 km away and [[Kathipara Junction]] is around 5 km away.

The word, ''Mugalivakkam'', might have evolved during the brief [[Mughal Empire|Mughal rule]] of [[Poonamallee]] during the later half of the 17th century CE and the 18th century CE.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mugalivakkam|url=http://www.mugalivakkam.com/}}</ref>

==Recent developments==
DLF IT City was built and opened next to Mugalivakkam in 2010. Multinational companies such as IBM, CTS, L&T and Infotech have been located in this IT City. L&T ECC, L&T Ship Building and L&T Audco are also vested in this area. Mugalivakkam is included in Chennai city limits from 2011. The availability of small parks, educational institutions, hospitals, banks and superstores identify itself as a decent residential area in this part of the city.

==Flood prone==
Residents of the M and M Thiruvalluvar Nagar (Mugalivakkam and Manapakkam) Residents Welfare Association said surplus water from the Pour Lake should drain into the Manapakkam Channel through Moulivakkam, Mugalivakkam, Madha Nagar, Rajeswari Avenue and Mahalakshmi Nagar. The channel once 40 feet wide drains surplus water from the Porur Lake as well as storm water into the Adyar River at Manapakkam. The problem, residents complained, was primarily due to the shrinking of the Manapakkam Channel.

Residents of the Thiruvalluvar Nagar unable to reach homes as the area is completely under water in the years 2005, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2015. Adding to the inundation is the problem of breaches in Manapakkam canal that runs 500 metres from the locality. Two breaches each five feet wide allow water from the canal to flow into Thiruvalluvar Nagar.
