Madurai Trade and Industry Leaders Explore Dedicated Logistics Park
MADURAI, January 2, 2026 – The Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry is actively considering a proposal to establish a dedicated logistics park in Madurai, potentially revitalizing the region’s trade network. The suggestion was put forth by Principal Commissioner of Income Tax T. Vasanthan during the Chamber’s executive committee meeting on New Year’s Day.
Vasanthan emphasized Madurai’s rich history of trade, referencing the Pandya regime and the Keeladi excavation, which indicated extensive inland and international trade connections with Southeast Asia, China, and Rome. He argued that a modern logistics park could unlock significant opportunities for growth, particularly for young entrepreneurs.
He highlighted the potential support from the Government of India and the Chamber’s long-standing role in promoting best practices, urging members to transform “Pandian Madurai into a Modern Madurai” through sustainable development and ethical growth.
Chamber president N. Jegatheesan confirmed that the members would thoroughly examine the feasibility and potential benefits of establishing such a logistics industry in the city. The proposed park is seen as a potential lifeline for various industries in the Madurai region.
