Recent Improvements/Updates to Coimbatore and proposals to improve Coimbatore - Azhagiri



Speaking at the foundation stone- laying ceremony of a high learning centre at Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET) at Guindy, Chennai - Union Minister Azhagiri said SPIC would be open soon in Tuticorin, near Coimbatore.

Stating that an advanced tooling and plastics product development centre of CPIET would be started soon in Coimbatore, Alagiri said steps would be taken to reopen the fertiliser company SPIC within a month.

�My aim is to make Coimbatore on a par with Chennai and its suburbs in terms of industrial growth. I will do it at any cost and will ensure that the temple city and its adjoining areas are no inferior to any part of the State. Apart from being the DMK organising secretary for South, I would also like to become the industrial secretary for southern districts,� he said.

An expert team would soon hold talks with the Coimbatore district administration on identifying the site for the proposed Rs 48,000-crore aero park, according to the Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers, Mr M.K. Azhagiri.

Stating that the Central Institute of Plastic Engineering Technology would establish its tool design centre near here, he said, �my aim is not only to industrialize Coimbatore, but all the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu.�

He said Essar Company Ltd would establish a business process outsourcing unit in Coimbatore, which would generate jobs for about 2,000 people.
