The message posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa read: “Welcome to Tamil Nadu, @DaburIndia ! In fact, welcome to South India! Our Chief Minister M.K. Stalin today signed an MoU with Dabur for the establishment of a world-class manufacturing plant, their first in South India, at the SIPCOT Food Park in #Tindivanam, Villupuram district. ₹400 crore investment by Dabur at this facility will result into creation of more than 250 jobs. More importantly it will open up new opportunities for farmers in the nearby delta region to sell agroproduce to be processed in this facility (sic).”
“Our Chief Minister being from the delta and myself also being an MLA from this region too it brings great joy that we are going to finally make food processing links that are appropriate for industrializing Delta(sic).”
