Trichy: Trichy's second industrial park in Thiruverumbur, a dedicated zone following the Manapparai industrial park, has been officially notified. The State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (Sipcot) has launched full-fledged promotions to attract investors. The Thiruverumbur industrial estate will be a standalone land parcel, entirely allocated to a single investor in the engineering sector.
Location and Features
The industrial park, located adjacent to the Olympic training academy on Trichy's semi-ring road, covers 148.9 acres in Elandapatti and Suriyur villages. Although boundary walls have not been erected, the land parcel was officially notified with an entrance. Signboards directing visitors from the Trichy-Pudukottai national highway and Trichy-Thanjavur national highway have been installed.
Investor Interest and Strategy
According to a senior Sipcot official, representatives from six companies have visited the site. Sipcot is keen to award the space to a single player in the engineering sector with the aim of generating maximum employment opportunities for youth in Trichy, Pudukottai, and Thanjavur districts. The industrial site is easily accessible from these three districts. Since creating layouts and allocating individual plots to investors based on small, medium, and large-scale operations is challenging and time-consuming, Sipcot will identify a single investor for a 99-year lease. The official added that Sipcot will provide water and electricity facilities, while roads will not be needed as one firm will purchase the entire land parcel.
Advantages and Ecosystem
Trichy's international airport, located 15 km from the industrial park, is considered an advantage in wooing multinational investors. Guidance TN, the nodal agency for investment promotion in the state, is reaching out to major engineering firms. Thiruverumbur already has an established ecosystem of Bhel's ancillary MSMEs, Ordnance Factory Trichy (OFT), High Energy Projectile Factory (HEPF), and private engineering industries supported by small-scale Sidco industrial units in Ariyamangalam, Mathur, and Thuvakudi.
Employment and Timeline
The new industrial park is expected to generate at least 5,000 jobs. The site was identified by the district administration in 2024. Sipcot's single-investor model aims to streamline development and accelerate job creation in the region.
