M Karunanidhi, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 2 August 2010 inaugurated the
Tidel Park in Coimbatore. The park has been developed jointly by Tamil Nadu
Industrial Development Corporation, Electronics Corporation of India, Software
Technology Parks of India and Tidel Park, Chennai.
The Rs-380 crore, Tidel Park Coimbatore has three basement floors - for
parking, ground floor for commercial, IT and ITES services and four floors
(above ground level) specifically for IT and ITES companies. It is likely to
have space of nine lakh sq ft for IT and ITES companies.
The 56-acre SEZ campus is expected to house three IT companies - Wipro, Tata
Consultancy Services (TCS) and HCL; each of them have bought 9.5 acre. While
Wipro has begun construction of its project, HCL and TCS are yet to start work.
