Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Friday laid the foundation stone for nine industrial projects worth Rs 10,062 crore, which will generate 8,666 new jobs.
He also took part in the inauguration of seven companies which had already signed Memorandum of Understanding with the state government and commenced commercial production at its facilities today, an official release said.
Both functions were done through video-conferencing.
These companies had committed investments of Rs 1,298.20 crore, generating 7,879 new jobs and signed MoUs with the state government during the Global Investors Meet in 2019 and also during the Chief Minister’s three-nation visit last year.
