Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu, presenting his maiden Budget on Monday, highlighted that new TIDEL Parks would come up in Madurai and Tiruchi, besides “Neo TIDEL Parks” in smaller towns.
As Mr. Thennarasu noted, the first TIDEL Park was established in Chennai in 2000 under the leadership of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. This laid the foundation for the information technology boom in the State.
