Spain-based Edibon signs MoU with Tamil Nadu government, investing ₹540 crore in technical teaching equipment manufacturing.
Spain-based Edibon, which manufactures technical teaching equipment, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to invest ₹540 crore in the State. The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in Spain on Monday February 5, 2024.
In a social media post, Mr. Stalin said he was thrilled to seal the deal with Edibon, securing an investment of ₹540 crore. Edibon works in the area of design, manufacturing and commercialisation of technical teaching equipment. The CM, who is on a visit to Spain, said he had also held talks with other industrial majors Gestamp and Talgo, and convinced them of the opportunities in Tamil Nadu. Mr. Stalin said he also had a fruitful discussion with Mabtree, a company engaged in R&D in immunotherapies.
Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa and senior officials were also present during these meetings. “With such fruitful results, I will be departing from Spain tomorrow and longing to see you all after quite a few days, which feel like eternity to me,” Mr. Stalin said, adding that he was grateful to the Tamil community in Spain for the warm welcome and hospitality they extended to him.

The municipal bus stand auditorium in Malappuram was packed. But nobody quite knew what to expect. After all, a new event was making its debut at the State School Arts Festival. The moment V.G. Harikrishnan started his rendition of Pyar bhare do sharmile nain..., everyone was convinced that Ghazal was here to stay. The student from GVHSS, Atholi (Kozhikode), was applauded loudly for his rendering of the timeless ghazal sung originally by Mehdi Hassan.

For the last few weeks, several wards in Madurai city have been getting piped drinking water through a new drinking water scheme. The sweetness of the generously supplied water has led to loss of business to several suppliers of canned drinking water in the city. But, not many know that the water supplied to the houses in Madurai is directly drawn from Lower Dam of Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district of Kerala.
