Rule 110 of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Legislative Rules allows a minister to make a statement on a matter of public importance with the consent of the speaker and does not permit a debate at the time it is made.
Stalin’s announcement was welcomed by various political parties in the assembly. Hosur which has been a hub for electronic, automobile and automotive component manufacturing is now emerging to be a hotspot for electric vehicle and related component manufacturing as well.
Senior Tamil Nadu officials have said that the airport would propel growth in both states and increase connectivity to business hubs and industrial clusters such as Tiruvallur, Sriperumbudur and Coimbatore, with administrators hoping that the development would also propel the city’s progress as an IT hub.

Stalin also announced that a Kalaignar library and science center would be set up in Trichy. The Municipal Administration Minister K N Nehru said the people of the delta region would be ever indebted to the CM for the gesture.
The new airport would be a boon for business as well as local communities when it becomes a reality. As of now, Tamil Nadu has international connectivity airports in Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy and Madurai; domestic services in Salem and Tuticorin.
“This project will greatly enhance connectivity and stimulate economic growth benefiting not only Hosur but also neighbouring districts such as Dharmapuri and Salem, while also providing a significant boost to various parts of Bengaluru,” Industries Minister TRB Rajaa said.
