Tamil Nadu goes to town on manufacturing. Target: hinterland
Tamil Nadu’s Ranipet district, famed for being a hub for power loom weaving. But the small town, which is barely a hundred kilometres from state capital Chennai, is now poised to emerge as a nodal destination for global automobile manufacturing. In September, Tata Motors broke ground for its Rs 9,000 crore greenfield factory designed to produce cars for local and overseas markets for Tata Motors and JLR.
The ambitious project is expected to create over 5,000 employment opportunities--both direct and indirect--and drive significant skill-building in the local community.
Panapakkam has a population of around 11,536 as per 2011 census with residents primarily engaged in agriculture and weaving. The town is known as the production centre for power loom lungis, the sarong-like wrap favoured as everyday wear by multitudes of south Indian men.
The Dravidian Model
The hum of power loom units reverberates across Panapakkam, but it’s also grappling with dwindling wages in the textile sector.
