In 2018, when areas under Alandur Taluk, were annexed by Chennai District, revenue villages that were not under Greater Chennai Corporation were moved to Pallavaram Taluk.

Pallavaram Taluk has four revenue blocks: Pallavaram, Pammal, Kundrathur, and Mangadu.^[2]

In 2019, Chengalpattu district was carved out from Kancheepuram district. Kundrathur taluk was created with Kundrathur and Mangadu revenue blocks. Kundrathur taluk remind under Kancheepuram District and Pallavaram Taluk was moved to newly formed Chengalpattu District.^[3]

The total area of Pallavaram was 100 km² including Kundrathur and Mangadu Firkas forming a largest taluk. Since 2019, Kundrathur and Mangadu Firkas are carved out from Pallavaram Taluk to form the new Kundrathur Taluk under Kancheepuram District.
