Brigade Enterprises has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Tamil Nadu, expressing its commitment to invest over Rs 34 billion in the state, potentially creating employment opportunities for approximately 25,000 individuals over the next three to four years. The agreements were formalized during Tamil Nadu's Global Investors Meet (GIM) 2024, in the presence of Chief Minister MK Stalin.

Two MoUs were signed by the company' one with the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) and the other with the Information Technology and Digital Services Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT). The MoU with CMDA pertains to Brigade's expansion in Chennai, involving the establishment of two high-rise residential buildings in the IT belt of Sholinganallur, with an investment exceeding Rs 20 billion. The second MoU with ELCOT, IT&DS, outlines an investment of approximately Rs 14 billion for high-rise commercial and residential developments across various micro-markets, including Mount Road. These projects are anticipated to be completed within the next three to four years. Tamil Nadu has committed to providing the necessary support and regulatory facilitation, subject to applicable laws.

In response to the development, Pradyumna Krishnakumar, Executive Director of Brigade Enterprises, stated, Chennai remains a primary focus area for us in residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. These segments have demonstrated remarkable growth and potential over the past year. Additionally, Chennai is emerging as an IT/ITES and Healthcare hotspot, with a high demand for commercial spaces. This, in turn, will stimulate the demand for residences. We are confident that, with the backing of the Tamil Nadu Government, we will contribute to the state's growth, as the real estate sector plays a pivotal role in the state exchequer.
