The Tamil Nadu government is committed to ensuring that the benefits of industrial development reach all over the State instead of being confined to some areas, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Tuesday.
Responding to former AIADMK Minister K.P. Munusamy, he said the government had taken steps for the industrial development of the under-developed districts.
He said the organisation working under the Union Ministry of Industries and Commerce had released data showing that the foreign direct investment in Tamil Nadu had increased by 41.5%. “Tamil Nadu has achieved this when the growth at the nation level came down by 16%. Tamil Nadu’s share in the foreign direct investment in the country as a whole has increased to 5% from 4%.”
