Chennai is among the big metros of the country. No doubt

Coimbatore is in II Tier cities of the country. We will find any "all india country level" real estate forums or national realtors, CBE always find a place other than chennai.It is well known among industrial & financial circles all over the country. Also due to its climate and educational & industrial environment, it is bound to grow even without govt's big help

Madurai was lagging earlier due to absence of BG line. In 1970s Madurai was under consideration for location of a HMT plant. Due to absence of BG line the location was shifted. We have to blame politicians for the lagging.Even when more Anna universities were created, they left south TN. After hue & cry, Tirunelveli was chosen instead of madurai. TN's late CM Kamaraj only did for south TN's initial progress. Tuticorin TPS,SPIC, Heavy water plant etc were done during his period.Now I feel there is a great scope for southern TN to flourish

Trichy has its own plus points, being at the the centre of TN. Again due to late CM,Mr Kamaraj's efforts, its developments started by establishment of BHEL. But except BHEL, ordinance factories and ancillaries, there was no big industrial development like what the entrepreanures of CBE do without establishment of any PSU over there. I hope with cethar vessels's expansion plan & Tidel park, Trichy will grow further

Regarding Salem. establishment of steel plant was much delayed and was primarily a business centre.Now due to the efforts of PMK leaders it is witnessing boom in infrastructure developments

BHEL came to Trichy because of the efforts of R.Venkataraman(former president who is from Srirangam) who was the industires minister during 1960s.Its not just CVL is expanding there are other companies who are also expanding and with infrastructural works,Trichy would develop into an industrial hub.

I quoted in the sense of appreciation of ministers who do some thing for the TN.

After Kamaraj period TN has hardly witnessed any new PSUs whereas central minsters from states like karnataka was instrumental in bringing lot of PSU to Bangalore like BEL,HMT,ITI etc in 1970s

Infact congress MPs of TN after Kamaraj period contributed nothing for the TN development. In that sense now the present central ministers from TN do some thing good.

I view the development of TN as a whole and not as a regionwise within TN.

Further my quote was with reference to salem city development. Not about salem district, mettur areas etc. Even steel plant expansion was also pending for a long time. After the present ministers' persistance only it got the nod

If it was for total development of TN:

Why would they take away the govt hospital upgrade from Trichy? Salem should have been added to the AIIMS project rather than taking it away from Trichy.

Why would they carve out Trichy railway division and add it to Salem division? They should have taken some stretch from Madurai or Chennai division.These serve more places than Trichy.

All bogus, everyone wants to cover themselves.

Well, hope so, since, there are lots of vested political involvements.

If you go back to the history, the speciality hospital project was dragged from Madurai to Trichy due to some politics.

For operational feasibilities, the Salem Jn - Salem Market - Salem Town - Attur-Vidhachalam stretch has to be under the jurisdiction of Salem division.

R.venkatraman was the industries minister in TN govt and not central govt. Due to RV lot of indistrial estates like Guindy etc came up.

But BHEL is a central PSU. That time central govt decided to make it at Hyderabad. There was a demand to locate it at TN.

Kamaraj just made a phone call to the higher ups at Delhi and they split the units as Turbine unit at Hyderabad and boiler unit at Trichy. "This was the famous saying about Kamaraj that he did by phone call". Such was his influence that time.

During Kamaraj period lot of PSU came up in TN. HPF at ooty was originally planned at Simla but came to Ooty due to him. Ofcourse like many PSUs now it has gone to dogs

I know, but RV was reason for BHEL coming to Trichy area.

As I said earlier its all about the individuals.

FYi.. The entire stretch of Trichy-Erode(130 km) is being added to Salem division.

Well, hope to resolve the current situations between both parties soon, in which case, it will be a win-win situations for all.

India and Malaysia have signed new MOU on civial avaiation. Trichy is one of the 18 destinations where services would be operated by both the countries.

Hope this clears the way for starting of Kualalampur flights from trichy by various operators.

Trichy airport seems to have bounced back well after the completion of runway expansion and other development activities.

Trichy airport traffic statistics

April 2007

Category - April 07(06) - % change

Aircraft movement - 414(254) - 63
Passengers - 28,670(17,853) - 60.6
Freight(in Ton) - 82(62) - 32.3

Its good to see major infrastructural activities happening in airways, roadways and railways in Trichy region. Most of the highways branching out of Trichy is currently being 4 laned, gauge conversion is also going on in full swing. Good for a better future of the region.

Every city of tamil nadu has been benefited bcoz of politics n politicians.
Salem got the railway division bcoz of PMK's minister.( the same minister denied the request for cbe rly division), Trichy got international airport status next to chennai( though the no. of passengers carried by cbe was more). Bcoz of politicians only now madurai has been announced to have international airport status by 2009, two IT parks r at verge of coming true by 2008, promoted by elcot, two SEZ by govt. + 1 RR township and even lot more in pipeline to madurai(all bcoz of govt.)
Even salem's super specialty hospital is due the special interest of agricultural minister only.{the shifting from one place to another}
Tirunelveli also got IT park foundation recently, nanguneri SEZ r also due to political influence only.
Need not say ne thing abt chennai's political support.
CAN YOU SAY THE ONLY CITY IN TN WHICH HAS NO GOVT. PROJECTS OR NO GOVT. SUPPORT N PROJECTS DELAYED INORDINATELY.?
THE PITY COIMBATORE ONLY!
So each one has political support, even trichy now has IT minister favor. so trichy will soon be a industrial hub too.

Its really good to see Trichy airport bouncing back after 3 years of near saturation due to runway expansion.But, even now Trichy airport doesnt have enough staff to handle the day to day work which is impacting the development. Hope AAI havent learned the lessons yet.

Mumbai: Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has reported a major gas find for the third time in 2007—this time in the southern-most basin on the country’s East Coast, the Cauvery-Palar Basin off the coast of Tamil Nadu.
With this, the company has found gas in all the three major basins on the East Coast where it is prospecting for oil and gas.
Confirming that the company had reported a new gas find, V.K. Sibal, the Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), said that he had “received a notification from Reliance Industries that they have struck oil and gas in one of the Cauvery Basin blocks”.
However, he refused to give further details of the find. An RIL spokesperson, too, refused to comment on the development.
According to people close to the development and who did not wish to be identified, RIL’s gas find in the Cauvery-Palar Basin is said to be in the region of 20 trillion cubic feet (TCF), bigger than the company’s find in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin where reserves have been pegged at 11.4 TCF by independent surveyors and ratified by DGH, the oil and gas regulator.
State-owned firms such as Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd and Oil India Ltd, which have exploration blocks in the basin, have reported gas finds, but these are in the region of a few billion cubic feet in terms of reserves.
RIL has already reported gas finds in the Mahanadi basin on the East Coast, and off the the Saurashtra coast in the last six months. While it has reported around 8.3TCF of reserves in its find in the Mahanadi basin, the Saurashtra find is yet to be quantified.
RIL has four blocks in the Cauvery–Palar basin with a total acreage of 41,770 sq. km. In March this year, RIL sought a two-year moratorium from DGH on exploration work in three of the blocks, citing a shortage of oil rigs; it simultaneously sought an extension of the first phase of exploration on the fourth one.
RIL currently has three rigs operating on the KG basin for which it is paying aggregate daily rental of $2.5 million (Rs10.1 crore). One of these rigs has been moved to the Cauvery Basin.
Mint had reported on 15 July that RIL was exploring a tie-up with Chevron Corp. to undertake exploration in the Cauvery-Palar blocks.
P.M.S. Prasad, president of RIL’s oil and gas business had told Mint then that the blocks were located in “ultra-deep” waters of around 2,000ft and that the company lacked the technology required to extract oil and gas from such depths.

If the above data is indeed true, then its a great news for the region.

[MA Eswaran]

If large quantum of gas is found in cauvery basin, lot of gas based industries could be set up which will to some extent mitigate the problem of delta dts depending on purely agriculture

If the news is really true, then it is a good news for the entire region.

[bajk]

The article says, the low-cost airport will be in addition to the existing one.
Which means 2 airports at trichy?? Personally I wont think so. May be they would be invovling private partnership on the ongoing airport expansion.

After low-cost airlines, it is the turn of no-frill and low-cost airports. In a bid to encourage regional airlines and provide air links to small cities and towns, nearly 25 greenfield or unutilised airport projects have been identified by various states, which will be up for bidding by the private sector.

Planned in tier-II or tier-III cities, the airports would be in addition to the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s (MoCA’s) ambitious modernisation programme for 35 non-metro airports.

A no-frill airport is built at a minimum cost and allows operation of small jets as well as slightly bigger aircraft like Boeing's B737 or Airbus' A320. The investment in such an airport could range from Rs 40 crore to Rs 100 crore.

The places identified for the purpose include Hassan, Shimoga, Gulbarga, Bidar, Mysore (all in Karnataka), Shirdi, Jalgaon, Solapur, Akola (all in Maharashtra), Kannur (Kerala), Madurai, Tiruchirapalli (Tamil Nadu), Rupsi (Assam), Ajmer, Mount Abu, Kailashar (Rajasthan), Behala, Cooch Behar, Malda (West Bengal), Jharsuguda (Orissa), Muzaffurpur (Bihar), Kamalpur (Tripura) and Passighat (Arunachal Pradesh).
