http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/06/02/stories/2008060250841700.htmMadurai, June 1 Emtici Engineering Ltd, the marketing and services arm of the Gujarat-based Elecon Engineering Company Ltd, which is a pioneer in the manufacture of bulk material handling equipment in the country and marketing of wind turbine generators (WTG), has set up its WTG gear box service centre at Kunnathur village on Tirumangalam-Tenkasi national highway, near Madurai.
The facility is coming up on a site of 5 acres with an investment of Rs 4 crore, capable of handling 300 gear boxes of up to 2 MW range in two years, according to Mr Vilas Kalyankar, Chief Executive Officer, Gear Division, Elecon Engineering
Till now, the gear boxes were taken to the main workshop at Vidhyanagar in Gujarat for servicing but the establishment of the new facility would help reduce time and distance in attending to these needs. The location has been selected to be nearer areas where windmills operate.
Tamil Nadu alone has around 7,000 windmills. Standby units would be provided while servicing is done, he said speaking to Business Line.
For 2008-09, a specific investment of more than Rs 100 crore for windmill gear box facility is contemplated. A tie-up with Renk, AG of Germany — to design and manufacture gear box for vertical rolling mill to be used in cement and coal industry — is under consideration, he said.
With due respect to our own paramount airways, in the past few months we saw/read quite few interviews from Mr. Thiagarajan about starting new services and entering western sky and also entering international sky by 2011 but we could see little action in reality. This may due to problem with aircraft supplier or increasing ATF prices etc etc., So I am quite skeptical about this helicopter service also. He is one who invests money and so he will have decide according to market scenario and it is totally correct.Paramount to take up global operations by 2011

Madurai Chamber of Commerce had approached him in this regard recently.
Yet another news on this. Probably, this shows that the earlier plans by Pawan Hans could be in the shelf.
Elecon Engineering sets up WTG gear box service centre
Dear MaduraiHere is a news from Hindu more or less saying the same,
I am not 100% sure about the passenger statistics. Though he says that it went from 15K to 30K, I thought it was much more than 15K last year itself.
Dear GilliVijay,
Happy to hear that 90% is in MDU-BLR Sector and I think that made AIR DECCAN introducing another service in this sector..
Please Do So HereVijay,
OK Vijay...I flew between HYDERABAD and BANGALORE on May 3rd,2008 by the time I board at New HYDERABAD International Airport ( GMR ) at Shamshabad that was my excellent experience...
And I can remember the one Terminal model posted as IXM New terminal layout as Anniyan (our forumer) some days ago was the one planned for new GMR International Airport, Hyderabad....Still I am having the Hyderabad new airport photos...really the airport was excellent...I couldn't see such a world-class airport in India..If our forumers want me to post the HYD airport photos here, I'll upload them.
We dont want one more water war.Agreed.
South TN should be made as separate state with Madurai as capital like Chattisgarh & jaharkhand made.
In that case a separate NIT, IIT or IIM, a Rajadhani exp etc will come for Madurai
Also smaller states will lead to instability in Government , and will lead to reduction in bargaining power for the developement of the states bifuricated.We dont want one more water war.
Please wait for two years,we can expect some developments once tidel park,other IT industries come up in South TN.
Like jammu kashmir and other states who is having two assembly hall,we can have it in chennai and madurai.
This will make us to raise our south TN views better.
My apologies for writing here.Anirudh

Bridge work is expected to finish by the year end and traffic is expected to start after that.
I feel that the place chosen for IIM was not correct. I dont noe hw trichy came into the field for the race in IIM?? IIM was initially announced for coimbatore, now they say its trichy, who knows tomo it mite be to madurai ?Dear Madhan
U must have gone through one of my earlier postings which was posted few weeks back. I am very much disturbed the way the govt bend upon setting up everything in madras and few in trichy and coimbatore and nothing in madurai. People will find it difficult to digest that, madras which is located in one end of the state, has 8 universities and also IIT. People have to travel all the way to madras if they have anything to do with Medical university, law university, veternary university and so on. This puts pressure on infrastructure of madras also. I failed to understand the logic in setting up world class university in coimbatore when there are already 3 govt universities and 3 deemed universities from private sector. If the central govt's logic of proper train, bus and air connectivity and located centrally is the reason then madurai or trichy is more suited than coimbatore because coimbatore is again in one corner and 400kms from madras & 350 kms from nagercoil or kanyakumari. I am totally fed up with TN politicians as well as our Ministers in Central Govt and dont see any hope for madurai in any area.
look at calicut.. NIT, IIM both the central insitution located in same place...I feel that the place chosen for IIM was not correct. I dont noe hw trichy came into the field for the race in IIM?
Even I wonder why both the institutes are in Calicut.. But the truth is the NIT is one of the least preferred for other state REC quota and IIM is not of good standard. But the fact is Calicuct has grown to a good extent that their Airpassengers are more than half of Chennai's..look at calicut.. NIT, IIM both the central insitution located in same place...
that too
* not a state capital
* not in centre of the state like Cochin
* not a important Tier II cities like Thiruvandrum and Cochin...
Can u have any explanation for the same...
What eligibility creteria you r looking for the race??...
If something is justified for chennai and CBE then Trichy too...Trichy is not in one corner of the state like Chennai and CBE...
So, In future State or Central government think about any Industry / Institution, it should be some what in the central area like Trichy / Salem / Madura/ Villupuram / Karur ..
