MSMEs expect TN budget to increase industrial land in Madurai to 15% Madurai, Mar 20 (KNN) The MSMEs in the district of Madurai have sought for an increase in the industrial land from 3 per cent to at least 15 per cent.
MS Sampath, President of MADITSSIA said that state government should provide essential industrial amenities in the private sites, which MSMEs are ready to purchase and give it to the government.
Highlighting the expectations from the state budget Sampath said availability of industrial land is one of the major hurdles for industrial development in Madurai.
“The one-stop centre for industries in the district should be empowered. The financial crunch of many MSMEs owing to the pandemic situation must be addressed,” he said.
Further he added that the Madurai-Tuticorin Industrial Corridor could bring major growth for industries in the southern districts.
Speaking about the agriculture industry, S Rethinavelu, President of the Agro Chamber, Madurai, said the state government should initiate schemes towards promotion of millet cultivation, and production and export of value added products.
“Millet is cultivated in almost 18 districts in the state, yet farmers are required to carry out the cultivation and processing works manually. Thus, the government can take steps to provide equipment for farmers and establish millet primary processing centres across the state,” said Rethinavelu.
