Utility system development for water purification, sewage, an electricity substation and other services is also underway to be able to ensure stable water and power supply of adequate quality. In addition, regional accessibility to the industrial park will increase due to new local road networks to be completed to connect the trading ports and the industrial clusters* in the north and south of Chennai. Looking at this strength, ORIGINS Chennai has been favorably located to access nearby trading ports, such as Kattupalli and Kamarajar in addition to Chennai. In the country, Chennai is garnering greater attention than other districts for its advantages in terms of transport to Southeast Asia and Africa as well as exports to nearby countries. “India is drawing a lot of interest from Japanese manufacturers looking to expand their business, especially as a target following the ASEAN region,” said Toru Haneda, expatriate project member.

In May 2015, Sumitomo Corporation signed a joint venture agreement with MWC and set up Mahindra Industrial Park Chennai, a joint company engaged in development, sales and operation. The project site stretches over a vast area of land with up to 260 ha available for development. I will deliver an on-site report on the industrial park developed by Sumitomo Corporation in Chennai.Īfter a one-hour car ride north from central Chennai, I arrived at the entrance of ORIGINS Chennai. Leaving the airport, I was impressed by the steady progress in motorization, represented by paved roads filled bumper-to-bumper, which overturned my old image of India characterized by largely underdeveloped infrastructure. Chennai is also known for its unique culture highlighted by numerous ancient ruins.This background adds an air of deep history and timelessness to the modern city.Īrriving at Chennai International Airport, I was first greeted by the warm air of a southern land. Nearly 90% of the population in Chennai is Dravidian Tamils, who are said to have built Indus Valley Civilization, one of the four great civilizations of the world. Built around Chennai Port, which has grown into the country’s third largest port due to its locational advantage for trading with Southeast Asia, the city has long flourished as the “gateway to South India,” playing a key role in the region’s economic development. It was known as Madras before being renamed in 1996. Chennai, home to a population of 9 million people, is capital of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and one of India’s four largest cities.
