The foundation stone was laid for GMR Infrastructure’s GMR Krishnagiri Special Investment Region (GKSIR) by Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru Edappadi K Palaniswami on 25 August 2018.
The project will be undertaken by GMR Krishnagiri SIR, a subsidiary of GMR Infrastructure in collaboration with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO).
GKSIR will be developed in an area of 2,100 acre in Denkanikottai, Hosur and Shoolagiri taluka’s of Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu.
Through the SIR, GMR Infrastructure intends to unlock the value of the land in the district and thereby attract companies to invest in activities like manufacturing, services, commercial, education, research and development, skill development and training, tourism & hospitality, health, housing, entertainment etc.
The proposed GKSIR will focus on hi-tech industries in the field of auto and auto components, defense and aerospace, electrical and electronics, precision engineering, food processing, textiles and logistics along with necessary social, commercial and residential infrastructure.
GMR Infrastructure has already invested in the land and does not plan any major investment, other than development of infrastructure. The basic infrastructure that is being planned includes development of plots of varying sizes with plug-n-play utilities like good wide road network, storm drainage, water supply, sewerage, WTP, STP, power supply and digital infrastructure.
