Tamil Nadu has the deepest manufacturing supply chains in the south: auto clusters around Chennai and Hosur, knitwear in Tiruppur, pumps and foundries in Coimbatore. Thousands of Udyam-registered vendors supply large buyers, which makes the state Council and the MSME Act’s 45-day rule central to recovery here.
