In a strategic move to attract Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and strengthen its research and development ecosystem, the Tamil Nadu government has announced the creation of a dedicated desk to fast-track clearances for GCCs looking to set up or expand operations in the state
A Proactive Approach to Attract GCCs
Speaking at the GCC Next Summit 2025 held in Chennai, Industries Minister Dr TRB Rajaa said,
“This is about faster clearances for all the GCCs wanting to set up office in TN.”
The dedicated desk is part of Tamil Nadu’s broader vision to become a leading R&D destination in India, especially as multinational companies reassess their operations and look to tap into India’s regional talent clusters.
