Tamil Nadu secures Rs 6.64 Lakh crore in investments, aims for $1 trillion economy by 2030

The Tamil Nadu government in 2024 took significant steps towards its goal of achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2030. It includes securing major investments and introducing sector-specific policies aimed at boosting growth. Additionally, the government focused on improving the ease of doing business and hosted its first Global Investors Meet (GIM), marking a key milestone in its economic agenda.

In 2024, a major shift occurred in Chennai’s business landscape with the acquisition of India Cements, one of the city’s major cement companies. Kumar Mangalam Birla’s UltraTech Cement, a leading player in the industry, announced the purchase of the long-established company, which had been promoted by industrialist N. Srinivasan. 

Additionally, the state’s Global Investors Meet (GIM) in January 2024, resulted in investment commitments worth Rs 6.64 lakh crore from various companies, expected to create 26 lakh new jobs in Tamil Nadu.
