Hi Kingmaker

The objective of this thread is to only carry projects in pipeline. Once an MOU is signed, we don't carry it here. Could you please remove it ?
Thanks.

Hi Subra,

We have to define what we mean by 'project in pipeline', ideally in the first post, in order to avoid confusion.

Just by signing the MoU, the project is not considered executed. Take for example, the Volswagen project, where they initially signed MoU with AP and then moved to Pune. So, untill the (land is acquired, transferred) construction starts, I would consider the project to be in pipeline.

But, if we agree to list only projects in the pre-MoU stage, I am glad to remove my entry.

I agree with the Volkswagen project but that kind of situation is rare. When an MOU is inked, we are posting news about the project execution in Chennai or TN project threads any way. I feel we can keep this thread clean and list only pre-MOU projects so that we can search for information easily. I can modify the thread description to reflect this if we agree.

Videocon chooses MH :(

NEW DELHI, Aug 6: Consumer durables major Videocon Industries today announced that it would set up a semiconductor fab to manufacture thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) in Maharashtra at an estimated project cost of Rs 8,000 crore in a tie-up with IBM.
The company has applied to the Central government for a subsidy of Rs 2,000 crore for the project under the recently announced Semi Conductor Policy, Videocon said in a statement.
“This project will generate employment to 10,000 people. Videocon established a full-fledged research and development laboratory in Japan exclusively to develop this product and is the first Indian company to have successfully developed it,” the company said. - PTI

This fab unit from Videocon was more likely to go to Maharastra or AP. But they are still comitted to set up a consumer electronics plant in TN.

The Videocon project in Maharastra is facing problems as the farmers in the villages surrounding Nave Mumbai are refusing to part with their lands for the project and it is also creating political problems within the ruling coalition.

Updated the list.

subra,can you prepare a list which shows the number of MOUs signed and number projects materialized?

Subra,

Greattttt work! the above list is fine.

u r updating posts 2, 3, 6 every now n then, and it lists up to update status of the projects pipeline. gud.

instead of editing the same post, u can keep add new another post with latest improvements on the projects.. u can mention as on "so and so" date as well...for ex: TN NHAI projects thread - nhai status maps - anyone can easily compare what was the old and present status..

this will give good informations,
1. what is the difference between old and new status.
2. what we missed, what offer we closed
3. we can refer any time about status

hope this will make sense to us..

This may not be accurate. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for your effort.you are truly an inspiration to us all.
Is it possible to get the information such as whether they started the plant construction,or identified the land etc..

^^Yeah! Complete details of all projects in a tablular format would be great! In this way, further amendments would be easier.

Thanks for the painstaking effort Subra! :)

NEW DELHI: Europe's second largest automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen is scouting for a manufacturing location in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, amid
its Indian re-entry plans getting slowed down by the global downturn.

According to industry sources, the company, which conducted consumer clinics in October last year with market research firm IMIRB, is looking at bringing its hatchback 307 and sedan C5 in India.

It has already had discussions with the Automotive Research Association of India to understand the regulations and homologation (making the vehicles meet the Indian rules and norm) needs for its products, the sources said.

Company representatives have already met the government officials of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in its quest for a location to set up its plant, they added.

With the segment in which it is present not economically viable to be launched through direct imports, it is understood that the company is looking at launching its cars only after having a manufacturing unit in India.

When contacted PSA Peugeot Citroen, Vice-President India Rajesh Nellore confirmed meeting officials from the Andhra Pradesh government to discuss investment opportunities, which he said "were preliminary in nature".

It would be awesome if chennai could bag this...

a) Chrysler Car Plant

b)Peugeot Car Plant

Waiting for confirmation...

^^Great :)

JK Tyre could soon join the bandwagon of radial tyre

companies setting up shops near Chennai. The New Delhi-based
corporate group
has held preliminary discussions with the Tamil Nadu government as part of evaluating possible locations to establish a car radial facility. Multiple sources, including analysts and senior officials in the auto industry, told ET the company is considering TN and Karnataka to house its greenfield unit.

A top official from an auto MNC said JK Tyre has been scouting for land in the Sriperumbadur belt so that it could be located close to the OEs in the bustling auto corridor. The project would entail an investment of Rs 1,600 crore in phases. Company officials, when contacted, said “nothing has been finalised yet.”

Though it has a sizeable land bank in Mysore — where JK Tyre had acquired the erstwhile Vikrant tyres in the early ‘90s — the tyre major is also keen on setting up a facility in Tamil Nadu given the concentration of several domestic and global car and commercial vehicle manufacturers in the state, an industry expert in the know told ET on condition of anonymity.

It is also reliably learnt that a senior official from Apollo Tyre has joined J K Tyres. According to an industry tracker, Chennai has been consolidating its position as the Detroit of the country. If Hyundai and Ford were the first movers into the auto corridor of Sriperumbadur, the entry of Nissan in recent times too has enlarged the business pie in this area. Also, in all likelihood, Peugeot could settle for TN, even as the race for luring investments is hotting up among southern states.

ET had recently reported that the unit could be for a Rs 300-crore car radial factory. The company has 7 tyre plants with an aggregate capacity of about 16 million tyres per annum and a tonnage of over 1,000 metric tonnes per day. For the quarter ending June 2009, JK Tyre had reported a net profit of Rs 40.7 crore (Rs 20.2 crore).

JK Tyre VC-MD Raghupati Singhania said: “Radialisation of commercial tyres segment is catching up at a faster pace. The growth momentum shall continue in the coming months with benefits available from recent completion of Truck Radial Expansion Project of doubling the capacity to eight lakh tyres per annum involving a capital expenditure of Rs 315 crore.”

It may be recalled that JK Tyre, which has an off-the-road (OTR) plant at Mysore, had announced expansion plans to tap the demand from the OTR segment. TN has been widening its net to attract investments into the auto sector even as it is gearing up for the MoU signing ceremony with French tyre biggie Michelin. Apollo is setting up a mega radial tyre unit on 135-acres in Oragadam. Expected to go onstream by this year-end, it has committed an initial investment of Rs 500 crore.

Warburg Pincus-funded ATC Tires inked an MoU in June 2008 with the TN government to set up a unit for exports in the product-specific SEZ in Gangaikondam industrial park. Due to global meltdown, the $190 million-plus company has been delaying commercial production, sources said. It had committed to invest Rs 300 crore in three years and another Rs 100 crore thereafter.:banana:

Hey any recent updates?

Nope. I am trying my best to keep it updated. See the first thread where the list is edited to reflect the current info.
