Real GDP = GDP at constant ( 2011 )prices 
Nominal GDP = GDP at current prices
GDP PPP = GDP based on purchasing power parity of currency 
Example : 1 USD = 84 INR ( Currency exchange ) 
1 USD = 20.29 INR ( 2024 Purchasing power parity ) 
Source : https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/PPPEX@WEO/OEMDC
Hence . 1 lakh crore INR = ( (1 lakh crore ÷ PPP exchange rate ( 20.29 ) ) = $ 49.29 Billion  Jagadeesh93 (talk) 09:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

C40 data is reliable per WP:RS all major Indian cities are using it. Also you cannot use these conversion rates because it is for india as a whole not a particular city. Also I severely doubt the credibility of the sources you used for the nominal GDP as they are tagged as citing a blog which not RS. Vijaydanny (talk) 19:48, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
i will attach State Finance department website as an extension. You can download the document.
Conversion rates doesn't Apply for individual cities . It is applicable for whole country just like 1 USD = 84 INR is same all over India.Body Balram (talk) 19:56, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I can provide multiple instances for which the conversion rate differs from city to city and state to state and more importantly data on Wikipedia must be verifiable which this this imf converter is clearly not. Vijaydanny (talk) 20:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
you are confusing purchasing power parity of a country with cost of living of a city . Body Balram (talk) 20:12, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

The text at present contradicts itself. See Etymology, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence: 'The name Madras is of native origin, and has been shown to have been in use before the British established a presence in India.' 3rd sentence: 'Madrasmight have been derived from Madraspattinam, a fishing village north of Fort St. George but it is uncertain whether the name was in use before the arrival of Europeans.', cited to Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911 edition. The current edition says: 'A trade network developed around the Portuguese port of San Thome (established in 1522), and in 1639–40 the British East India Company built a fort and factory (trading post) near the fishing village of Madraspatnam (from which the name Madras was shortened).' https://www.britannica.com/place/Chennai I would suggest the 3rd sentence needs to be deleted. In any case, the two sentences included in the article at present are mutually contradictory, and one therefore needs to be removed. Robert P Connolly (talk) 13:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

The "History" section of this article should include information about the 22 September 1914 Bombardment of Madras. It could also link to the article which you will find here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardment_of_Madras SchlachtkreuzerEmden (talk) 16:52, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
