The Tiruchi District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association (TIDITSSIA) has urged the Ministry of Railways to consider establishing a manufacturing unit of Integral Coach Factory in Tiruchi.
The excess land available on the Golden Rock Railway Workshop premises can be utilised for expansion of ICF, according to TIDITSSIA president R. Ilango.
Establishing such a facility in Tiruchi will help in generating thousands of jobs and rejuvenating ailing ancillaries of BHEL Tiruchi. Due to dwindling orders from BHEL, the ancillaries are turning sick. There must be a system of minimum guaranteed order in place for sustenance of production units, he has said.
