The State Government, which is working on removing bottlenecks, if any, in attracting industrial investments to the State, will consider the idea of organizing investors’ meet exclusively for industrial investments in southern districts, Minister for Industries Thangam Thennarasu has said. Speaking to reporters here on Saturday after discussing with entrepreneurs and industrialists from Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts on the investment opportunities in these two districts, he said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who was keen on attracting industrial investments, was working to ensure ease of doing business by removing bottlenecks and giving new incentives to potential investors. The Chief Minister, who was in constant touch with the industrial biggies and the heads of various foreign consulates to discuss the industrial investments, had promised them that the offer by the State would be attractive and irresistible. Since they were impressed with the government’s dealing with the COVID-19 by ensuring the unhindered functioning of all export-oriented units across the State, they had promised to bring in hefty investments.
