During an event in Chennai, the Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman took a familiar narrative head -on – that Tamil Nadu gives more to the center than he returns it.
She highlighted a recurring statement: “We are the most contributing, and what do you give us back?” Some even say: “You did not even give us 7 Netherlands on each ₹.”
“I don’t know where these figures come from. Where do these calculations come from? ” Sitharaman asked, before browsing the public through difficult data, using the incitement diets linked to the center (fold) as a counterpoint. “About 25% of beneficiaries of the country’s fold are based here.
What followed was a detailed refutation – and a list of diagrams, allowances and developments in clusters that the center supported in Tamil Nadu.
“So where does this money come from?” She continued. “When someone says,” We give so much, what do you give us? ” – All this argument is imperfect. “”
Sitharaman did not stop at that. “I don’t even understand how they come to these calculations. And if I can say it a little frankly – there are people here from Coimbatore, Chennai – you are all here. So, is Coimbatore and Chennai who pay taxes?
“If these two cities say:” We pay, so we have to be returned “, whereas someone in Kovilpatti should say?
She added: “This is why I say – to those who argue in such a misleading and erroneous way – I read this list for a reason. Because only when we add all this and objectively calculate it, can we really see what Tamil Nadu receives.”
Among the main projects she cited was the announcement by the Minister of the Union Ashwini Vahnaw on two main electronic manufacturing clusters – one in Gujarat and the other in Tamil Nadu. “The central government has allocated 1,100 crosses ₹ thanks to the budget for that … He arrives at Tamil Nadu.”
The coming installations are expected in Manalurur and Pillaipakkam.

She also underlined the domination of Tamil Nadu in the Component Auto Plé program – “out of the 82 approved candidates with 257 manufacturing units through India as part of this PLI program, 46 are located at Tamil Nadu. All benefit from a folded support. “
In the sectors of future technology, she added: “Among the four manufacturing units being created as part of the Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Plot, one is at Tamil Nadu. All these companies are beneficiaries of the fold – and they are all at Tamil Nadu. ”
