Kallakudi is a panchayat town in Tiruchirappalli district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

== History == On 15 July 1953, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) organised a demonstration in Kallakudi against naming the place as Dalmiapuram. A businessman named Ramakrishna Dalmia, from Bihar, established a cement factory in Kallakudi and the place was renamed Dalmiapuram on his request. DMK opposed the move as a suppression of South Indians by North India. It was the first notable demonstration by M Karunanidhi, the five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and his party, the DMK. The DMK party blocked goods trains during the protest.
