Singapore-based RGE to invest ₹4,953 crore in manmade fibre plant in Thoothukudi, boosting T.N.'s southern industrial growth
The Tamil Nadu government has secured a significant big ticket deal poised to boost economic development in the southern region of the state. Singapore headquartered RGE (Royal Golden Eagle), a big player in manmade fibres is setting up its first project in India at Thoothukudi. Government sources said RGE has proposed to establish a manmade fibre plant in Thoothukudi entailing investments to the tune of Rs.4,953 crore. This project will provide employment to around 1,065 persons. An MoU regarding this will be inked between the company and the state government at the Regional Investment Conclave - TN Rising on Monday. 'What makes this project particularly notable is its strong emphasis on domestic value addition and sustainability. While the pulp required for processing will be imported from RGE's plant in Indonesia, 90% of the remaining raw materials will be sourced from within India, with a significant portion coming from Tamil Nadu itself,' the source explained. 'This plant will serve as a reliable source of high-quality raw materials for the state's robust textile industry. It is expected to generate local employment, strengthen regional supply chains, and contribute meaningfully to economic development across the region,' he added. The source said more MoUs are expected to be inked at Thoothukudi. T.N. RISING CONCLAVE The first TN Rising event will be held at Thoothukudi. More such conclaves will be held at Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities of Tamil Nadu in the coming months. By moving the focus to regional centres, the Tamil Nadu government aims to unlock the economic potential of every district, leveraging local infrastructure, skilled talent pools, and sector-specific advantages. Industries Minister said: 'These Regional Investment Conclaves called 'TN Rising' are an opportunity for us to show the world that Tamil Nadu is further on the rise as a global industrial powerhouse, and that our potential lies across the length and breadth of the state. Thoothukudi had bagged a big investment in January 2024 during the Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet (GIM), the first investment conclave of the incumbent DMK government. During GIM, Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast signed an MoU entailing investmenst of Rs.16,000 crore for an electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi and within two months the company broke the ground for construction. The facility, to be inaugurated on Monday, came up in 15 months.

Case registered against group for forging documents, defrauding govt through fake GST invoicing
New Delhi: Crime Branch of Delhi Police has registered a case against a group allegedly involved in forging official documents and defrauding the govt through fake Goods and Services Tax (GST) invoicing. Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) conducted a preliminary probe into a syndicate suspected of orchestrating a sophisticated scheme to defraud the govt exchequer. The accused allegedly submitted forged documents and manipulated court procedures to reinstate GST registrations that had previously been cancelled. Officials said four separate writ petitions were filed by individuals representing entities whose GST registrations were revoked. These petitions relied on forged show cause notices (SCNs) dated between Sept 2024 and Feb 2025. The falsified documents were used to claim that cancellations lacked legal basis.

Ops begin at Tuticorin airport's new terminal
Tuticorin: The new terminal building at Tuticorin airport, recently inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi , commenced operations on Sunday. Designed to accommodate 20 lakh passengers annually, it is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. On Sunday, the first set of passengers who arrived on a flight from Chennai were received by airport officials with roses at the terminal. Sweets were also distributed to the first group who boarded the flight to Chennai. Various art, mural works, and sculptures showcasing Tamil Nadu's culture are on display at the new terminal building. "Cultural art forms such as Silambattam and Oyilattam along with art depictions of freedom fighters such as Mahakavi Bharathiyar and V O Chidambaranar are placed at various spots in the departure and arrival areas. We also have a 15m high mural depicting how Tirunelveli and Tuticorin were in the olden days," added an official. Land has already been acquired nearby, and further expansion can be done if needed, but the new terminal building should suffice for at least the next 20-25 years, he said. It was on July 26 that the PM launched the new terminal building, built at a cost of Rs450 crore, along with a slew of other infrastructure projects. Modi had then said that the terminal building will become a game changer for commerce and connectivity in southern Tamil Nadu.
