Kalanithi Maran returns to Chennai after an overnight trip to Chandigarh

Kalanithi Maran flew from Chandigarh's Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport to Chennai International Airport on May 28, 2026, a 2-hour 21-minute trip aboard his Bombardier Global 7500 (VT-SRH). The flight followed a day earlier leg from Chennai to Chandigarh, recorded on May 27.

The same week, Maran's visit to Chandigarh—a city not among his regular routes—suggests a private business or personal engagement. Chandigarh, as the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana, is home to regional media offices and technology parks, though Sun Group has no announced presence there. The billionaire's movements often align with industry gatherings or family matters, per flight tracking patterns.

Maran, who acquired the Global 7500 in 2024 for $75 million, maintains a busy schedule shuttling between Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad for his media empire. This side trip to Chandigarh, while unexplained, marks a rare deviation from his usual circuit, hinting at either a new venture or a routine meeting not captured in public disclosures.
