The Tamil Nadu Government was making all efforts to bring a mega textile park sponsored by the Union Government to Virudhunagar district, said Minister for Industries Thangam Thennarasu.

Speaking at the special loan campaign organised by the Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation (TIIC) here on Sunday, Mr Thennarasu said that Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has already announced the setting up of an apparel park at the SIPCOT industrial estate in Pattampudur in the district.

“The Centre has announced setting up seven textile parks in the country. Given that the textile industry is the core strength of Tamil Nadu, we have proposed to set up the textile parks at Virudhunagar, Sivaganga, and Dharmapuri districts,” he said.

He added that Sivakasi, which is known for the fireworks, textile and printing industry, has a huge opportunity to set up defence manufacturing units as Tamil Nadu has been announced as a defence manufacturing corridor.

Stating that Tamil Nadu has attracted 60,000 crores industrial investment in the last six months, Mr Thennarasu said that the efforts of the Chief Minister was to make Tamil Nadu numero uno in the industrial sector and generate more employment opportunities.

Revenue Minister K. K. S. S. R. Ramachandran said that Tamil Nadu was providing an entrepreneur-friendly environment to set up more industrial units with a lot of subsidies and financial assistance.
