Tamil Nadu CM Opens Vilankurichi IT Park

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister recently inaugurated a new Information Technology (IT) park in Vilankurichi, Coimbatore, marking a significant step in the state’s push to become a major tech hub in southern India. The IT park, developed by the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited (ELCOT), spans over several acres and aims to attract technology and software companies, creating employment opportunities and boosting local economic growth.

The Vilankurichi IT park is expected to play a vital role in Coimbatore’s emerging tech ecosystem, offering state-of-the-art infrastructure, including high-speed connectivity, power backup, and modern office spaces tailored for IT and software development firms. With a focus on sustainability, the park integrates energy-efficient designs, ample green spaces, and eco-friendly facilities, aligning with Tamil Nadu’s commitment to sustainable urban development.

The Chief Minister highlighted that this development is part of the state’s broader IT policy aimed at decentralizing tech industry growth beyond Chennai, encouraging tech companies to establish roots in other regions. This move is intended to boost local talent retention, reduce migration to metro cities, and stimulate regional economies. The IT park is anticipated to attract major players in software services, digital technology, and innovation sectors.

Industry leaders and officials attended the inauguration, with local tech firms expressing enthusiasm about the potential collaborations and opportunities the park brings. The Tamil Nadu government has pledged continued support for tech infrastructure projects across the state, aiming to solidify its status as a leading IT destination in India.
