Tamil Nadu Budget 2026 Proposes Mini IT Park in Tirunelveli, Omits Nanguneri SEZ Revival
The Tamil Nadu Interim Budget 2026 did not include plans for the revival of the Nanguneri Multi-product SEZ, disappointing local stakeholders. The land for the SEZ is mortgaged, and infrastructure remains undeveloped. The budget announced a mini IT park in Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari, along with a Centre of Excellence in Palayamkottai. Additionally, a sewage treatment plant is proposed for Tirunelveli and a pumped storage hydroelectric project in Kanniyakumari aimed at generating 1,000 MW of power.
