He added that Sivakasi, which is known for the fireworks, textile and printing industry, has a huge opportunity to set up defence manufacturing units as Tamil Nadu has been announced as a defence manufacturing corridor.
Revenue Minister K. K. S. S. R. Ramachandran said that Tamil Nadu was providing an entrepreneur-friendly environment to set up more industrial units with a lot of subsidies and financial assistance.
The Chief Minister, who introduced a separate budget for the agriculture sector, has a long-term vision on developing the industrial sector with a transparent administration.
