Chennai to Hosur by Cab: Distance, Fare & Travel Time

Hosur's industrial belt — automotive and electronics plants straddling the Tamil Nadu–Karnataka border — makes it one of the most frequent business cab routes from Chennai. At roughly 310 km and 5.5 hours, it is close enough for a day trip and far enough that the drive needs to be planned, not winged.

Route and timing

The run is pure NH48: Vellore, Krishnagiri and down the border to Hosur. Well-built four-lane almost end to end. Leave Chennai by 6 AM and you are at the Hosur industrial estates before the first shift meeting; evening returns avoid the Krishnagiri lorry queue if you start back by 4 PM.

Fare guidance

A one-way sedan drop works out to roughly ₹4,000 at ₹13 per km plus tolls. Day-return business packages are popular here — car waits through your plant visit and brings you back the same evening, billed as a round trip with the daily kilometre slab.
