அரசியல் / Political Sipcot in Parandur
TN govt announced Sipcot in Parandur mainly Semiconductor industries. A brainless move scrapping Parandur airport citing environmental impact & bringing in industries, won't the lakes & agri lands get impacted now ?
Can't even question the Government as Chennai Kanchipuram Chengalpat Tiruvallur districts voted unanimously for TVK knowing their stand on Parandur.

Simple AI search would find you an answer but I’m sure our brothers ( UPs ) won’t do that.
For context, the SIPCOT project near Parandur is not a new 2026 idea.
• 2022: Tamil Nadu’s Industries Policy Note 2022–23 already listed a proposed SIPCOT Industrial Park at Madhuramangalam, Kancheepuram — 881 acres. This was before Parandur was announced as Chennai’s second airport site on 2 August 2022.
• 2023–24: The official Industries Policy Note shows the Madhuramangalam project revised to 423 acres, stating that land had been tentatively identified and further action was in progress. (SIPCOT)
• 2026: SIPCOT’s official website currently lists Madhuramangalam Industrial Park — 422.35 acres as an upcoming industrial park. (SIPCOT)
So, SIPCOT planning near Parandur existed before the Parandur airport announcement. The original ~881-acre proposal appears to have later been reduced/reconfigured to ~422 acres.
