Tamil Nadu is planning a ‘comprehensive’ new industrial policy to regain the top place in industrialisation. Further, as industrialisation fundamentally involves acquisition of land, a mutually beneficial and partnership-based land policy will also be evolved, according to State minister for industries Mr S.P. Velumani.

The government will lay special emphasis on the emerging sectors such as bio technology, nanotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

It will be the endeavour of the government to attract top industrial houses for investment in key sectors like automobile and auto parts, information technology, IT-enabled services, textiles, leather, engineering and make the State the hub of the manufacturing sector, he said in his inaugural address of the Consultative Meeting on Vision-2025 (Industries) that the State government proposed to bring out.
