The TN manufactured Automobiles which are exported is not even 10% of the total production capacity and that too because the manufacturing has some dead capacity. If Indian market for automobiles falls, the export orders simply go to Vietnam or Thailand. Honda already does that and ford is in the process of doing that. TN is a net receiver of business from India, in that it does not bring any significant independent export revenues. The day IT will fall in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune, TN manufacturing will go down. 80s is different. Most of the industries were garnered by TN. The export oriented industries are now come up in BLR, HYD and other places and Tn is relegated to supplying them.

The only exception in this list is Karnataka because they do not want Ports for their exports. In this pandemic era, Karnataka would have easily surpassed TN. Will try to get the report and paste. Bangalore is a cosmopolitan and Chennai is not. While Bangalores population has grown 2 times in the last decade, Chennai had only 50% growth.
kvraghav Sir - i remember you showing a lot of dislike towards TN a few years before in this same forum when numerous Tamilnadu based companies/restaurants/logistics/trucks were being attacked by folks in Bengaluru because the SC pronounced a Cauvery water sharing verdict that did not go in favour of Karnataka.
The then Sleeping Beauty CM Mr.Siddharamiah had to enforce Section 144 in Bengaluru and media all around the world focused on the riots in India's Silicon Valley - which had to be controlled via Local Police having to patrol on the roads & resort to shooting at its own people to quell the violence. I agree that this can only mean that Bengaluru is Cosmopolitan and Chennai is nowhere near a cosmopolitan city. Is Bengaluru a safer, less crime prone city (especially for women) than Chennai
?. Never mind - who cares. Chennai is not Cosmopolitan but Bengaluru is Cosmopolitan.
Just like how TN strategically marketed
Hosur (nearby Bengaluru) as an ideal destination for Companies to setup their Industries, Andhra too marketed
Sri City, nearby Tada as an ideal Destination for Companies wishing to setup their manufacturing plants nearby Chennai. Both TN & Andhra had made gains by adopting this strategy using the presence of a nearby Mega City of neighbouring State. Just look at Andhra and see how many Ports it also has built for enabling exports for the Industries running in its state.
I mean - which sensible Indian State with a coast line will decide that they do not wish to provide quality port for companies which manufacture products in their region and wish to export them.
Inspite of being a Coastal state - how many Quality ports does Karnataka have when compared to TN (Chennai Port Trust, Ennore Kamarajar Port, Adani Kattupalli Port, Tuticorin Port)
?. No wonder that even Toyota which builds its Cars in Karnataka (aka KA) exports them from Ennore Port in TN !.
Compared to TN - How many 2Ws, Cars, Tractors, Buses, Trucks, Trains does Karnataka produce
?. How many of them get exported (German, French, Japanese, Korean & American a'la TN) to outside of India
?. Let us not even go into the topic of the huge swath of TN Origin 2W/3W/Tractor/Truck/Tyre Manufacturing companies in TN like TVS, Royal Enfield, TAFE, Ashok Leyland, MRF & etc.
Does KA produce any Electric Car (like Hyundai's Kona EV Car)
?
Does KA produce Electric 2Ws when compared to the scale in which TN produces (like Ampere, Ather - which actually originated from IIT Madras, OLA, TVS)
?
Does KA produce any Solar Cells (like how Vikram solar produces)
?
Does KA conceive, produce Train (like Train-18 or so) for our country & also export them
?
Does KA have any Home Grown World Class Textile Production Equipment MNC (i.e. exporter) or World Class Pneumatic Equipments/Compressor solutions MNC (i.e. exporter) like how TN does
?
Does KA state government own majority stake in a Blue Chip, Large Cap Indian Luxury products company like how TN state govt owns in Titan (where TATA group is 2nd biggest stake holder only)
?. FYI - TN state government's stake in Titan alone is worth nearly 42K Crore INR. An interesting Trivia - The Current RBI Governor belongs to TN IAS Cadre and used to sit on the board of Titan when he was working for TN State.
Does KA State government have a State PSU like TNPL (largest Indian exporter of Fine Paper products to > 30 countries, self-sufficient in its raw material input and one of the most eco-friendly manufacturer of paper products)
?
Does KA have a single equivalent for TN's Tiruppur (this city in TN alone exports more than 3 Billion USD worth Garments to rest of the world)
?
Do you think TN does not export anything other than Automobiles ?. Think about Software, Heavy Electrical Engineering products, Mobile phones, Telecommunication & Networking equipments (including 5G), Wind Turbines/Wind Mills, Laptops, PCs, Tablets, Motors, Pumps, Excavation, Construction & Mining Equipments, Speciality Chemicals, Pharma products, High end white capital goods and many more Value added products in numerous industries.
Let us not waste our time in this forum by providing illogical and baseless information (which btw reminds me of Lawhore).
