Perundurai Road is one of the major arterial roads in the city of Erode in India. Running from the centre of the city towards the west, the road starts from Amma Flyover near Thanthai Periyar Government Hospital and terminates near the western suburb Perundurai. This 17 km road stretch further extends to the west connecting SIPCOT Industrial Park and joins NH 544 that enables the connectivity to Coimbatore and Kochi. The commercial and residential establishments along this road make it as the growth identifier of Erode, forecasting the development towards the west. The width of the road is making it four-lane to most of the stretch while a few km of the stretch near the western end has been widened to six-lane carriageway.
