The cost of the apparel park is

Industries Minister Thangam
Thennarasu said that the apparel park to be opened on 250 acres at
Kumaralingapuram in Virudhunagar district would boost the economic development
in the southern districts and provide direct and indirect employment to over
15,000 persons.
SIPCOT’s initiative to open the
future mobility park at Shoolagiri in Krishnagiri district, the first of its
kind in the country, followed the emergence of e-vehicles, he said. The SIPCOT
Industrial Park, proposed on 576 acres at Sengathakulam near Uthukottai in
Tiruvallur, is expected to attract about Rs 20 billion in investments and
provide direct and indirect employment to about 3,000 persons.
The Minister said 10 SIPCOT Industrial Parks would be improved at a cost of Rs 1.5 billion,
while waterbodies within and around them would be developed at a cost of Rs 1
billion. Hostels for women would be constructed at the SIPCOT Industrial Parks
at Siruseri and Bargur at a cost of Rs 700 million to help about 1,000 women
workers get accommodation on nominal charges, he said.
