28 Feb 2026 CW Team

Approved proposals span sectors such as aerospace, semiconductors, electronics, renewable energy, industrial automation, defence manufacturing and life sciences, signalling a wide technological base. Key proposals include aircraft trainer components assembly and maintenance by Sakthi Aircraft Industry, semiconductor manufacturing by NMB-Minebea and semiconductor equipment manufacturing by Yield Engineering Systems. Electronics manufacturing proposals from the Dixon Group and SFO Technologies also received clearance alongside renewable energy storage system assembly by Vikram Solar.

Other approvals cover armoured vehicle manufacturing, industrial automation equipment by Festo, aerospace components by the Aequs Group and cooling systems by Schneider Electric, while a life sciences park promoted by Bharat Biotech formed part of the slate. Construction equipment manufacturing by Caterpillar Inc. and an advanced aerospace research and development centre proposed by Boeing were among larger investments, with glass manufacturing by Saint-Gobain also included. The mix demonstrates an emphasis on both component-level industries and large assembly or research facilities.

The minister indicated that investments will be distributed across districts including Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri, Namakkal, Perambalur, Theni, Dindigul, Karur, Tiruppur, Salem, Coimbatore and Thoothukudi to build employment-intensive industrial clusters. The projects are expected to strengthen the State's strategy to attract high-value manufacturing while supporting regional development. Officials said the approvals aim to catalyse private investment and promote balanced industrial growth.

The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has approved incentives for 46 new and expansion projects with a committed outlay of Rs 315,923.9 million (Rs 315.9239 bn), underscoring the State's push to consolidate its position as a diversified manufacturing hub. The projects are expected to generate over 61,500 jobs, the Industries Minister said that investments will be spread across multiple districts. The decision reflects an attempt to disperse industrial growth beyond the Chennai metropolitan region and to generate employment for young people.
