Coimbatore: In a significant development for Tamil Nadu's automotive industry, Minister TRB Rajaa has announced the return of Ford Motor Company to the state. This comes after a year of continuous engagement and strategic pitches led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.

The minister highlighted the Chief Minister's persistent efforts to reposition Tamil Nadu as the top destination for manufacturing. Stalin's focus on showcasing the state's manufacturing capabilities and its abundant talent pool has apparently paid off, resulting in Ford's decision to re-establish its presence in Tamil Nadu.
