The Tamil Nadu Government constituted a 20-member Tamil Nadu Investment Promotion Commission to promote and facilitate strategic investments in the State.
The Chief Secretary will be its chairperson, and the Secretary of Industries, Investment Promotion and Commerce will be its Member-Convenor, along with secretaries of various departments and other senior officials.
The Commission will monitor investments of ₹200 crore or more, projects generating 5,000 or more jobs, Free Trade Agreement (FTA)-linked investments and investments by persons of Tamil origin living abroad.
It will oversee projects until commercial operations begin and issue binding directions to departments and authorities for timely clearances, incentives and approvals.
It will also review the utilisation of industrial land allotted by the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT), Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO), Tamil Nadu Small Industries Development Corporation (TANSIDCO), Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) and Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO).
The Commission will also monitor projects undertaken by TIDCO, TIDEL and TICEL.
The initiative supports Tamil Nadu's target of becoming a $1.5 trillion economy by 2036.
The Commission was announced on 18 June 2026, and the amended Tamil Nadu Business Facilitation Act, 2018, reduced clearance timelines under 22 State Acts to 21 days, excluding public and local holidays.
