Puzhuthivakkam station was expected to be opened in 2013, as part of the second phase extension of the Chennai MRTS network, from
Velachery to
St. Thomas Mount but construction faced multiple delays due to land acquisition issues. With the court dismissing all the cases against land acquisition for construction, the station was expected to be completed by the end of 2024, but multiple deadlines were revised. The station opened on 14 March 2026, with the commissioning of last leg of MRTS stretch from Velachery to St. Thomas Mount. ==Structure==
