The Tamil Nadu government has leveraged investments for the setting up of three large petrochemical projects in Thoothukudi, Nagapattinam and Cuddalore, Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu said on Thursday, while speaking at the 2nd edition of ‘Summit on India: Global Chemicals & Petrochemicals Manufacturing Hub’ in Delhi.
Mr. Thennarasu said these projects would ensure supply of all required feedstock to strengthen and position the State as a petrochemical investment destination. “These projects also create an immense potential for downstream investment opportunities from large to smaller companies to be a part of our growth story,” he said.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
