'''Tiruvottriyur''' ('''Thiruvottiyur''' or '''TVT''') is a neighbourhood in North [[Chennai]], administered by the [[Greater Chennai Corporation]]. It is part of the [[Tondiarpet division]], located to the north of Chennai city. It is one of the 15 administrative zones in Greater Chennai Corporation. The zone is named to be Zone 1 (Tiruvottriyur). Due to its proximity to Parrys and Chennai Central along with comparatively cheaper residential space and decent amenities, it has become a sought-after residential destination. Tiruvottriyur, which is one of the oldest habitations by the sea, has a diverse residential population due to the industrial units, trading activity and nearby fishing hamlets. The area is easily accessible by [[Metropolitan Transport Corporation (Chennai)|Metropolitan Transport Corporation]] (MTC) buses from across the city and has a bus terminus. The area is also served by [[Tiruvottiyur (Chennai Suburban Railway)|Tiruvottiyur railway junction]] of the [[Chennai Suburban Railway]] Network.

Along with [[Avadi]], [[Ambattur]], [[Sembium]], [[Ennore]], Tiruvottiyur is part of the "auto belt" in the city's industrial north and west regions that developed when the automobile industry developed in Madras, during the early post-[[World War II]] years.<ref>{{cite book | last = Muthiah| first = S. | author-link = S.

==Geography==
Tiruvottiyur is located at {{Coord|13.16|N|80.3|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/25/Tiruvottiyur.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Tiruvottiyur]</ref> It is an [[esplanade]] located on the shores of [[Bay of Bengal]]. The sea encroachment was a major problem for the fishermen before building of Groynes was started in 2004. The groynes, put up over a length of 4 km, vary in length from 165–300 metres each. Their height is four meters above the mean sea level. After a few years some acres have been reclaimed with the formation of a beach as predicted.

As of 2018, Tiruvottiyur zone, along with the Tondiarpet zone, has a green cover of under 10 percent, as against the city's 14.9 percent average. This was chiefly because of numerous industrial units, mills, power plants, refineries, fishing harbour and docks.<ref name="Hindu_228CrProjectForGreen">{{cite news
