CII pushing to promote Coimbatore as valve hub.

The Coimbatore Chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry plans to promote the city as a valve hub.

Nethra Kumar, outgoing Chairman of CII, Coimbatore zone, said, “The city is emerging as a hub for valves. The industry body has, therefore, sought the Centre's approval for setting up a centre of excellence for valves in Coimbatore as well as Rajkot.

“We plan to request the government for an Innovation Fund. We have just commenced work on preparation of a detailed project report. It will be ready for submission to the government in three months. The proposal will strengthen the government’s Make in India mission,” she said.
