Tamil Nadu government has decided to develop a 'plug and play' manufacturing unit in Kancheepuram district to attract start-ups and equip them with readymade facilities.

Unlike other current industrial estates, the 'plug and play' manufacturing complex would provide prefabricated space where businesses could begin production right away.

The project was assigned to the state-owned Electronics Corporation of India, which had a partnership with Tidel Park. This plant is located in the Vallam Vadagal taluk of Sriperumbudur's Sipcot Aerospace Park.

"Any start-up or fresh manufacturing unit, whether it focuses on the mobile or automobile sector, will have several formalities to identify a spacious land for manufacturing," a senior official from the department said.

Even after that, the production will take time since they need to purchase their required equipment. The ‘plug and play’ facility help save manpower and time, as it will come with ready-made facilities in more than 11 lakh square feet, and can accommodate around 100 companies.”
