A Hub for Global Giants

The state is home to giants of the global industrial world, making it the prime location for a booming industrial ecosystem. Over 38,000 factories, along with cutting-edge Research and Development centres, have set foot in this region. Tamil Nadu’s industrial growth has attracted a massive spike in the automobile, EV, aerospace, and electronics sectors. Industry stalwarts such as Hyundai, Daimler, Renault-Nissan, Foxconn, and Pegatron have established their strongholds here, creating a self-sustaining industrial economy.

The Surge in Warehousing & Manufacturing Demand

With the push for the "China-Plus-One" strategy and the "Make in India" initiative, demand for Grade-A industrial space is on a sharp rise. The industrial area in Tamilnadu is witnessing a surge driven by the rapid expansion of clean-tech manufacturing, contract electronics (EMS), and the 3-PL (Third Party Logistics) sector. These modern businesses require large-format, tech-enabled facilities that older industrial zones simply cannot accommodate.

In this landscape, the ESR Group, APAC’s leader in Industrial and Logistics real estate, has been a forerunner. Within the vicinity of key nodes in the Tamil Nadu Industrial Area, ESR’s developments emerge as epitomes of manufacturing infrastructure. A testament to this is the recent news where ESR boosts investment in Hosur, Tamil Nadu with 85 acres of strategic expansion.

With state-of-the-art technology, robust connectivity, and close proximity to a skilled workforce, these parks are the ideal choice for industries seeking to establish a remarkable presence in South India.

Discovering the Tamil Nadu Advantage

The Tamil Nadu Industrial Area is not just a location; it is a strategic asset. Strategically located along India’s coastline and anchored by SIPCOT (State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu) zones, this area benefits from a meticulously planned infrastructure that supports heavy industry and high-velocity logistics alike.



Strategic Synergy of a State-Wide Network

Tamil Nadu offers a unique dual advantage: Port Connectivity and Inland Efficiency.

Chennai & Oragadam: The industrial park in Chennai and ESR Oragadam serve as the gateway for exports, leveraging the proximity to Chennai, Ennore, and Kattupalli ports.

Hosur & Western Belt: The western industrial area in Tamil Nadu, specifically Hosur, serves as the manufacturing backyard for Bengaluru, bridging the gap between tech and production.

This proximity allows businesses to seamlessly tap into R&D capabilities while benefiting from lower real estate and operational costs.

Government Support and Infrastructure Investment

With the goal of becoming a $1 Trillion economy by 2030, the Tamil Nadu government has positioned its industrial areas as the focal point for future investments. The region is a beneficiary of government investment MoUs worth thousands of crores. Key infrastructure projects boosting this area include:

Greenfield Expressways: The Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway will revolutionize connectivity between the two capitals.

Port Expansion: Continuous capacity addition at Ennore and Kattupalli ports to handle ultra-large container vessels.

Power & Water: Dedicated substations and robust water supply schemes ensure 24/7 utility availability, a critical requirement for heavy manufacturing.
