A defence corridor will be developed in Tamil Nadu with Chennai, Hosur, Salem, Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli as major nodes.
The proposed Tamil Nadu Defence Corridor or Tamil Nadu Defence Production Quad will be built on the existing defence ecosystem in the form of Ordnance Factory Boards, vendors working with defence public sector undertakings and other allied industries.
The corridor aims to bolster interaction between all industry players in order to create long-term synergy and eventually develop the area into a defence production powerhouse.
