Tamil Nadu is keen on securing investment to create high-end, high-value jobs to boost its economy, but any jobs and money coming into the state is a win for the Indian economy also, Industries Minister, TRB Rajaa, told NDTV at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland's Davos.
In a strong pitch to foreign investors, he underlined Tamil Nadu's position as India's "manufacturing capital" and held it up as an investment destination aligned with best global practices. Tamil culture, characterised by resilience, has a "special pull for investors", he said.
"We are very strong in the auto sector... in electronics and textiles. Our traditional strengths remain, but we would also like to crack the life sciences... and we've already spoken about equipment-manufacturing for the semi-conductor sector. Basically... we're keen on high-end, high-value jobs." he said, when asked about plans to grow the Tamil Nadu economy.
