Satyakam Arya

Our journey in Tamil Nadu over the last 12 years has been very eventful and we are absolutely pleased with our choice of having invested in Tamil Nadu. There are a lot of solid reasons to it like the world-class, robust infrastructure facilities made available in the industrial zones, the well-developed end-to-end ecosystem of tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers, the proximity to the seaport for exports, the uninterrupted availability of power, the ease of doing business with single window clearance initiatives, the easy availability of good quality engineering talent, the institutional framework, the incentives offered by the Government of Tamil Nadu for the investments in the state and above all the keenness on the part of the Government to motivate the industries to invest in technologies needed for future mobility. Our confidence in Tamil Nadu as an attractive investment destination remains steadfast leading to the fact that we have very recently signed a second MoU in May 2020 with the Government of Tamil Nadu covering INR 2,277 crore of investment.
