The '''Pondicherry Makkal Congress''', or '''Puducherry Makkal Congress''' (Puducherry Popular Congress), was a [[political party]] in the [[India]]n union territory [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] (formerly known as Pondicherry). The PMC was formed as a splinter group of the [[Tamil Maanila Congress]]. The leader of the PMC was P. Kannan. In the assembly elections of Puducherry in 2001, the PMC won four seat (out of 30). Until 2001, the PMC supported the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]], but then it started to support [[Indian National Congress]]. In August 2002 the PMC merged with the INC.

As of 2005, P.Kannan had formed a new party, the [[Puducherry Munnetra Congress]].
