Government Estate is an underground metro station on the North-South Corridor of the Blue Line of Chennai Metro in Chennai, India. This station serves the neighbourhoods of Chepauk, Triplicane and Chintadripet. The station is named so because of the presence of the Omandurar Government Estate in the vicinity.
