Tamil Nadu to establish a Japanese Industrial cluster near Chennai.

To attract more Japanese companies, particularly medium sized companies, the government of Tamil Nadu has proposed to establish a Japanese Industrial cluster near Chennai.

Japanese companies are evincing interest in investing in infrastructure projects apart from manufacturing. The joint steering committee consisting of the government of Tamil Nadu and METI, Japan, has identified a number of infrastructure projects for co-operation. These includes promotion of new industrial parks and Japanese industrial townships.

Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Guidance & Export Promotion Bureau (Guidance Bureau) signed an MoU to facilitate Japanese investments in Tamil Nadu.
