TN CM Vijay's UK tour secures ₹15,300 crore investments

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay returned to Chennai on Thursday (September 17, 2026) after a visit to the United Kingdom. During his trip, he managed to secure investment commitments worth ₹15,300 crore, which are expected to generate 10,000 jobs directly and indirectly. The State Government office announced this noteworthy achievement in a statement.

Upon his return, Mr. Vijay met with Indian High Commissioner Kumaran Periyasamy and discussed potential joint ventures between India and the U.K. under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Earlier, he had announced in the Assembly his government's ambition to establish a world-class Sports City.

In addition to these political engagements, Vijay visited the Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit to discuss modern car-racing technology and security arrangements. Notably, his administration opted to forego the customary protocol of having Ministers receive him at the airport, as per a statement from the State Government office.
