Left Luggage Facility in Chennai International Airport (MAA)
I will be travelling to Chennai International Airport later this month. I have a short trip for two days around Chennai before I go to Mumbai. I will need to store away my two standard international travel suitcases for those two days instead of lugging them around with me. Is there a facility (like a cloak room) in the International terminal where I can put my luggage? If so, do I need to have an onward journey to be able to put it there? If anyone has any contact information for the facility it would be great.
I have tried to find some information online but most of it is not very clear. Every post says there is something outside the terminal itself. Is it safe to put luggage there? And also the posts are a couple of years old, and I know that the Chennai airport has undergone some huge renovations during that period.

As of 27th August 2019, they have closed this luggage/cloakroom facility due to security reasons.

If you have an extremely long layover, you might want to ditch the airport and go explore the city, but dragging luggage along with you can make for a cumbersome exploration. Luckily, most airports have a left luggage service where for a fee bags can be stored at the airport and retrieved before a flight.Madras International Meenambakkam Airport (MAA) Chennai International Airport

It sounds like you have two options, according to Airport-desk:
- There are baggage lockers in the airport which you can safely store items in.
- Failing that, you can store them at a desk as well, and the site suggests asking at any of the information desks at the airport for where to find these.
Answer 9
Now they have moved this facility to another spot close to the earlier one. The new location is in between Metro rail station and the vegetarian restaurant. At the back of the restaurant , just opposite to the Metro basement. It's a tiny one and nearly maintained. We have to show our boarding passes as a travel witness. They register our details at their log book and provide a yellow ticket. Preserve this and don't misplace/lose. IRS 100 per bag per day. Payment should be made during the collection of baggage. Add atleast extra 30 minutes on your pre-reporting time prior to check-in, for this process.

It is opposite to the international arrival terminal. They ask your passport/ticket as proof that you're an international traveller. Can hold your luggage for 24 hours, the price was Rs 100.
