This list could include a list of eight focus sector and twelve sunrise sectors (identified in the Industrial Policy 2021) and new sectors and sub sectors.
According to details provided by Guidance, the nodal agency for investments, partnerships and collaborations with the State of Tamil Nadu, the focus sectors include automobiles and auto components, chemicals, electronics & hardware, heavy engineering, leather, textiles, financial services and software.
The sunrise sectors include electric vehicles, EV cell and battery manufacturing or any green fuel technology such as hydrogen fuel, medical electronics, devices and equipment and aerospace and defence applications among others.
The consultant picked will also be preparing 50 success case studies. The theme will include success stories of existing investors’ experiences in setting up operations in Tamil Nadu.
The case studies will also have success stories on how investments are handled, the pace of conversion of these investments in Tamil Nadu, and the preparedness of Tamil Nadu to welcome investments and the growth of industry.
