Dell Computers, on 14 September 2006,
signed an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government to set up its manufacturing plant
in the special economic zone near Sriperumbudur. The unit would come up at
a 50 acre land in the SEZ, at an investment of Rs.280 crore and is expected to
attract major component vendors of DELL to set up their plants in the area as
well.
The project would provide direct
employment to 1,100 people and indirect employment to over 4,000 people, it
said. The unit is expected to be commissioned by mid-2007.
