Guindy metro station is a Metro railway station on the Blue Line of the Chennai Metro, which opened on 21 September 2016 along with the elevated section on the Blue Line. The station is among the elevated stations coming up along corridor I of the Chennai Metro, Washermanpet–Chennai International Airport stretch. The station will serve the neighbourhoods of Guindy and Velachery.
The 105-metre-long steel girder rail overbridge, which is the only such structure in the entire Chennai Metro system, lies near the station.
The station is also the only one in the entire system with two skywalks providing access to the station—one near the Guindy Industrial Estate and the other near Race Course Road.
