Notes:
1. At the all India level, Chennai which was 5th largest (city population) in the provisional result, has edged out Bangalore for the 4th slot by a margin 30 thousand in the final list.
2. Tiruppur is the fastest growing city in TN. Between 1991-2001,it has risen by 84% and 2 places to take 6th spot.
April 11th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
After the 2011 cencus,
Salem would surely surpass Trichy and take the fourth place. Tirupur also has a chance of getting 5th place.
April 27th, 2006 at 1:56 pm
The population figures given for Salem, does not include the population of Kondalamppatti, Kannankurichi, Mallamoopanpatti and some more areas which had been included into the Corporation limits many years ago. Inclusion of those population figures would take Salem up by one place bringing Trichy down to 5.
April 28th, 2006 at 12:57 am
Hi
The population quoted is official figure from the census India report. Until the next census tells me otherwise, I will have to take Trichy as the 4th largest city.
Thanks for your visit and comments
October 1st, 2006 at 2:30 pm
if you take the top 100 cities in india, trichy is placed at number 48 whereas salem is at number 61.
October 2nd, 2006 at 12:10 am
Hi Arshad
Thanks for your comments. I do agree that as of now Trichy is bigger than Salem, population wise.

thanx sln. a small suggestion. why dont you try out something like http://www.consumeraffairs.com which has very good hits every day. something like that will be very usefull.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Below are the details of population figures of the erstwhile town panchayaths, but now included into Salem City Municipal Corporation. But the Census still considers these places as different town panchayaths and they are not included in the City’s population.
Salem 696760
Kannankurichi 14994
Kondalampatti 16808
Mallamoopanpatti 6783
Neiykarappatti 9869
745214
Source: Census 2001 http://www.census.tn.nic.in/default.htm
But still Trichy’s Corporation population is 752006, which is nearly 5000 more than Salem. And hence Trichy is the 4th largest city by population, as per 2001 census. But that is certainly not going to be the case after 2011 cencus. Let us wait and see.
Thanks,
Vijayan
April 6th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Thanks Vijayan for the information. However, I think the Metro (Urban Agglomeration) population would include these figures and even there Trichy is ahead by almost a Lakh. It may change in next census but we have to wait.
Cheers

April 7th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
Dear SLN,
Urban Agglomeration population of Salem also is very high as there are hundreds of industrial units functionaing just outside the city limits (Salem Steel Plant, POWERGRID, Tata Refractories, Burn Standard, Dalmia etc to name a few). Also, the government medical college, government engineering college, government women’s collge, law college, periyar university are outside the city limits, which contribute much on the population.
I am not coming to say that Salem is very much ahead of Trichy. But the difference is not much.
April 7th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
Dear SLN,
The figures I gave are on the population of the areas coming very much under the City limits. It itself is coming to nearly 7,50,000 - but this population is given under the Metro population of Salem.
Does that mean the rest of the areas which I had mentioned in my previous post are negligible? The 745214 does not include the population of the areas like Chinna Kollapatti (where the government ITI, government women’s collge, law college, kurumbappatti zoological park, quarters of almost all government officials, central jail, housing board units are located), Steel plant, medical college, powergrid, mohan nagar, karuppur (periyar university, govt engineering college, tata refractories, dalmia, burn standard etc), seelanaickenpatti (beyond the circle). I am sure the population of these areas will definitely be more than a lakh. So, the Metro population should be around 850000. This may sound silly to few. But its the fact.
June 28th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
The below link proves my statements made few months back on the population of Salem and Trichy.
http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&men=gcis&lng=en&dat=32&geo=-104&srt=pnan&col=aohdq&pt=c&va=&geo=-1881
Calculated population of Salem in 2007 is 824414, where as its 789204 for Trichy.
Year - Salem - Trichy
1991 - 499024 - 660405
2001 - 693236 - 746062
2007 - 824414 - 789204
Growth of population in Salem is much much more in Salem.
As per the link, the population of Madurai is decreasing.
June 30th, 2007 at 3:08 am
Dear Vijayan,
It is just a projection not a census. Let us wait til 2011 census. It is very much possible that Salem will overtake Trichy by then.
SLN
October 6th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Mr SLN, are you basically from salem?
it makes me feel like that because you have not done a detailed study about the growth of these two cities.
what ever figures you project here are much much less than what is actual. please publish real figures in this website. then only it will serve the purpose of starting this website.
good luck.

I’m surprised after people saying that Salem is more populated than trichy.Trichy is one of the fastest growing cities in india.The population of Trichy has never gone below the population of salem in the past.I also disagree that places like Tiruppur is more populated than cities like Madurai and Tiruchirapalli.The growth of population in Trichy will be much more than places like salem and tiruppur.Moreover Trichy has a vast area than these places.I will definitely say that Trichy is yhe fourth largest city of Tamil Nadu.Let’s see what happens in 2011.
December 1st, 2007 at 2:57 am
Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your comments. While Trichy is larger now, Salem and Tiruppur have grown much faster than Trichy over the last 2 decades and if it continues, Salem at least is bound to overtake Trichy in population soon. Let us wait for the next census.

Now, the Trichy corporation is going on expanding its boundaries by adding 14 villages/town panchayaths into the corporation limits so as to retain the 4th place.
This addition will give a population of 70+ lakhs, and the corporation area will be 232 sq. km post merger.
Salem will remain the same 94 sq. km. city, and even the places like Kondalampatty, Kannankurichi, Erumapalayam etc will continue to be NOT a part of the corporation for the census even though they are part of the corporation - with nearly a lakh population.
December 30th, 2007 at 11:19 am
* In the above comment of mine, I gave the additional population of 70+ lakhs, which is a typo. That is 70+ thousand.
March 25th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Trichy’s superiority in population over salem and tiruppur is a FACT! A fact that will remain undaunted even after 2011 census results! Those frenzied fanatics of salem n tiruppur here who imagine that salem will overtake Trichy in 2011 census, will Bite Dust once the result is announced!
With a sprawling city area on all four sides and agglomeration spreading more evenly and rapidly than salem, and various industries queueing up all around the city, Trichy will easily , have stolen a march ahead of salem once the 2011 census are out! so.. y not u salem enthus suggest ur authorities to ‘pull in’ even areas as far like , attur! and rasipuram! into ur pet city’s corp limit! - if at all u wish to see some hope
April 9th, 2008 at 2:01 am
The Trichy corporation budget document indicates that Trichy has a population of 9.6 lacs while the Salem corporation budget document says the population is 7.7 lacs.This clearly proves that Salem still has to catch up with Trichy and if the new areas are added to Trichy corporation, then the population would raise to around 11 lacs.

Madurai was made a City Corporation in 1971. Whereas Coimbatore in 1981, Tiruchirapalli, Salem and Tirunelveli in 1996, Erode and Tiruppur in 2008, Vellore and Tuticorin by 2008 (proposal). The census india website has wrongly projected that a fastest growing city like madurai has a negative decennial growth rate. Anyhow after revised enumeration the population of Madurai was found to be 10,67,562 (All official order follow this figure)
http://www.maduraicorporation.com , Look into JNNURM pack. The Urban Agglomeration area includes four municipalities, Anaiyur (38,302), Tiruparankundram (59,009), Avaniyapuram (53,006) and Thirumangalam (43,371). These four municipalites are having a very fast growth rate since they are interlinked with Special Economic Zones. Madurai Corporation is the smallest of all Corporations of Tamilnadu with just 51.85 sq.kms. It is surrounded by four Municipalities Tirumangalam (10kms from corp.limit), Avaniyapuram (2kms from corp.limit), Tiruparankundram (2kms from Corp.limit) and Anaiyur (just 1km from corp.limit) and Townpanchayats such as Harveypatti (Pop. 11,000,1km from limit), Thirunagar (Pop.18,000, 2kms), Vilangudi (Pop 30,000,1km from corp limit), Paravai (21,000,4kms) and Census Towns such as Nagamalai (Pop.14,000,2kms), Samayanallur (Pop.17,000 6kms), Chinnaanupanadi (Pop. 20,000 ,1km), Melamadai (Pop.40,000 , 1km from corp limit), Vandiyur (Pop.35,000, 1km from Corp.limit), Kappalur Estate (4kms from corp.limit), Kannanendal (Pop,22,000, 3kms from corp limit), Naganakulam (23,000, 2kms from corp.limit), Thiruppalai (16,000, 1km from corp.limit) and several adjacent village panchayats are having more than 10,000 population. There is a proposal to extend the Muncipal Corporation area and the govt. is keen in working the feasibility. If these areas are merged with present Madurai MC then the population would be more than 2.0 million.

Hello Raghavan,
Thanks for your comments and detailed information. The Census bureau’s final figures do show a small increase in Madurai Population city limits. However, the suburban populations are included within Madurai UA. Madurai Corporation figures are estimates / projections and not based on door to door enumeration like Census. Even if the Corporation limits are extended, Census considers only the Urban Population and not all population under corporation limits but it can change the ratio of City to UA population. The Urban Population of entire Madurai District is less than 15 Lakhs as per 2001 Census so it is unlikely to cross 2 Million even by 2011 census.
regards
SLN
June 11th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I have already mentioned that due to the creation of SEZ’s around madurai, many village panchayats are in verge of population explosion, say for ex. Vadapalanji, Thoppur, Thanakkankulam, Uchapatti, Vilacheri, Nilaiyur, Sholanguruni, Perungudi, Othakkadai, Kathakinar, Uthangudi etc., are having more than 200% growth rate. It is similar to the growth rate of Chitlapakkam, Thiruneermalai, Nerkundram, Valasaravakkam, Perungalathur, Vandalur, Nandivaram-Guduvancheri, Thandarai, Maraimalainagar, Red Hills, Kottivakkam etc., experienced in early 1990’s. Madurai is trailing behind Chennai and noway it will touch Chennai. It is my view that Madurai is experiencing a fastest growth rate, and me being a maduriite viewing the changes.Right!
Thank You.
July 5th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Madurai is one of fast growing cities in tamil nadu .In jan 08 13 software companies were launched,another important think is that Two IT park planed and constructions have been going on now and it will be finished with in two years.
Next to chennai electric train soon be launched in madurai.Another important think is madurai airport will upgrade as international airport for that now they extenting the place of airport. Within five years madurai will be graded as A class city
Thanking you
July 17th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
at anytime salem cannot able to overtake the trichy
July 19th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Hi Arun here..
there is no way that madurai can be second as long as coimbatore is in TN.
Guess every one knows it. we already have big techies here and lots of it parks being in construction stage here..
with it s salibourus climate not hot like madurai and educated people definitly coimbatore IS the second BEST CITY.
July 26th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
hi can you tell me the population of cities of Tamilnadu right from 1950,1975 till now… So that we can have a rough estimate of the growth rate of these cities over the last 50yrs…
October 8th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
hi largest city in tamilnadu 2.coimbatore 3.madurai 4.salem 5.trichy 6.tirupur 7.tirunelveli 8.erode 9.vellore 10.turicorin this is the current situation. coimbatore is biggest city compared to madurai. salem is big city compared to trichy. because population wise,industrial wise, area wise better. so rank rise up and down
October 8th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Hi Thanihasalam,
Thanks for your comments. This issue has been beaten to death here. My listing is based on official census 2001 figures. None of the other numbers are based on any door-to-door enumeration like the census but are only projections and estimates. Let us wait for census 2011.

hi to all
how will become the corporation from muncipal corpn?
how much the correct city population of kanchipuram and when will it become the corporation?
everybody hava an idea, reply the answer……
April 25th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
trichy will not go to 5 bcoz thiruverumbur,thuvakudi have been upgraded as municiplaities each exceeds i lakh the district admin plans to jon these two towns and some areas like b.koil to the trichy corporation
so area wise and population trichy will grow and the population become closer to cbe and mdu
April 27th, 2009 at 5:35 am
@Jegan & Others,
Like Trichy, Salem already has a very big suburb on all directions, which are not part of the corporation. That includes Kondalampatti, Udayapatti, Ayodhyapattinam, Kannankurichi, Major stretch of Yercaud Road, Steel Plant, Kollapatti, Karuppur, Periyar University, Gajjelnaickenpatti etc. But unlike Trichy corporation, Salem authorities do not seem to be giving any attention to increase the corporation area. Even without that, Salem was lacking only 50,000 behind Trichy in 2001 - posting a very high growth rate comparing to 1991.
It still is a wait and watch game between Salem and Trichy for 2011. Growth of both the cities are now centralized on the suburbs - and hence adding the suburbs of both Salem and Trichy to the corporation limits will make the comparison really worth.
As I said, it still is a wait and watch for the next 2 years for the official figures.
May 5th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
tirupur is fast growth in all side compared to other cities
this city fast development
May 5th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
tirupur is gross population one million
May 26th, 2009 at 9:18 am
madurai become corporation in 1971,coimbatore 1981,trichy and salem 1996,tirunelveli 2001(not 1996)
in 1991 census madurai is second &coimbatore is 3
it reversibly changes in 2001
also during 1991 to 1995 salem was 4 andtrichy is 5
and also reversed.
very rare case dindigul moves from 5 to 13 in these 2 decades
May 30th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
today compare to madurai ,coimbatore,salem,trichy,thirunelveli, these corporation cities are made corporation as earlier and aglomeration is are high than tirupur
but population was low compare to tirupur coimbatore is 101.27 sq km.but population is 1.5million but tirupur city is 27sq km but the population is 8 lakhs as per census 2001 ,in future tirupur will become big city after chennai. on the period tirupur population is two million .so the tirupur quik development to other city.
June 16th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Trichy is in 4 th place only. Salem cant beat trichy. Bcoz it has many features like international airport where coimbatore and madurai does not have more international flights. Only trichy has more flights.
Thanking ÝOü
June 19th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
well said Babur sir it s absolutely correct Salem can’t overtake Trichy at any cause if they include some of the areas in their limits after that also the chances are faaaaarrrr less coz
Trichy corp’n has already included Thiruverumbur,Thuvadkudi and Pudhukudi(on the way to Vallam)
so that will also rise the population of Trichy.
Moreover as mentioned by Abu Trichy has more international flights than Salem r Coimbatore r Madurai
It s because of politics that Trichy until now unable to get the IT’s on the pocket
but the hope s that IT’s will be definitely n Trichy with in a year or two it s surely on the cards
Industrial wise Trichy is not lagging behind Salem r other Tier 2 cities Trichy also has BHEL which s world wide known
v r having Arms and Ammunation industry Boiler plant,Golden Rock
This city also holds important position in tourism having Rock fort,Srirangam,Samayapuram,Thiruvannaikovil
Vayalur so there s no chance for other Tier 2 cities especially Salem to beat this beautiful city
June 29th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
TRICHY,the second HEADQUARTER of TamilNadu. It is located in the centre part of TN. Based on the population TRICHY had been pushed to the fourth spot and overshadowed by Madurai and Coimbatore. When TRICHY is compared to Madurai(Big Village), the city TRICHY has the upperhand in all the aspects. And TRICHY has equivalent historical background to Madurai. When compared with Coimbatore(Manchester), TRICHY giving more Industrial output than the Kovai. TRICHY BHEL alone contributing 6000cr. 70% of the needs for Pressure Vessels, Boilers, Windmill Towers used in INDIA has been met by industries located in TRICHY. TRICHY has the TECHNO PARK through which the city is contributing for the IT. The city cost of living is low and where you can find peace to live. TRICHY has more no of International flights and Cargo Services in TN next to Chennai. This is the city where government has introduced AIRBUS and AC Buses for the city service. By Road,Rail,Air TRICHY is well connected and stands high compared to Madurai and Kovai. Here you can find the fine mixed blend of Industry and agri…Still Trichy has the hidden potential to grow. Yes, like this i can list u more… TRICHY ROCKS!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Congrates Vijayan…for promoting Salem in each and every corner of net world.
But Fact is Salem never ever overtake trichy for atleast another century.
Wait till 2011 censes data releases…
July 1st, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Look out the below link…
http://www.citypopulation.de/world/Agglomerations.html
Trichy is 458th largest Agglomerations of the World .
Salem nowhere near trichy..This status as on 30th December 2oo8
July 7th, 2009 at 11:34 am
In all the aspects TRICHY stands higher than all of the Tamilnadu Tier-II cities. If you compare Salem with TRICHY by means of Multiplex screens, you should have one thing on mind - Trichy is the first city in Tamilnadu to have a five theater complex(MARIS Complex). When compared with the Industrial output, Trichy is giving even higher than Coimbatore(10000Cr). BHEL alone contributes 6000Cr. Salem could never be compared with TRICHY at any cost. TRICHY is the only city having International Airport as well Cargo Services next to Chennai. Passport Office,Planetorium,Arivalayam(DMK) are some to mention which are located in Trichy excluding Chennai.Trichy has more no of Central Government Firms like OFT,HAPP,High Energy Batteries,SR GoldenRock WorkShop viz… Trichy has major Private employers like Ceethar,Rane,Irizar TVS,Anand Engg,Cauvery Engg,etc., The 70% of the boilers used in Thermal powerplants are manufactured by BHEL TRICHY and 80% of Windmill Towers are being produced from the industries in Trichy.Trichy is the mixed blend of city and agri where people can live peacefully. By the population,Industrial output,no of educational institutes TRICHY stands higher than Salem. Even if you compare the city area, TRICHY is bigger than Salem. Now only Salem have got a Railway Div. But TRICHY had got it lots of years back. TNSTC-TRICHY is having more no of fleets on different routes in suburban and city areas which shows its vast city area. Buses like Low Floor Deluxe Buses(For ordinary Fare), A/C coaches, Vestibule Buses marches the Rock City and even introduced first next to Chennai. The details provided above is just what existing in the ROCKFORT CITY….In near future The Rock City will be the Commercial center of Tamilnadu. The TRICHY City is ranked at No.4 after Chennai,Coimbatore,Madurai….is just based on the population and hence overshadowed. Still the city has the potential to grow in all the areas…Is it unawareness of the people who are having the thought to compare Salem with Trichy…?
July 11th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Both Trichy and Salem are growing well in its own field. Like Trichy, Salem is not an important historical place of past history nor a place of tourism. It is true that Salem is lagging behind Trichy in educational institution and it is because of government. And Trichy is well connected with air internationally, whereas Salem is trying hard to resume the domestic operations. Southern railways gives much importance to Trichy because of the history behind the South Indian Railway company. Salem was shown step mother treatment, and just it is seeing few developments for past 1year whereas Trichy is seeing it for past 60-70years. But in industrialization, Salem took little one step forward than Trichy in many fields such as power plants, aluminum plants, chemical plants, magnetite plants, steel plants, sago industry, textile industry because of the resource available in Salem. Apart from this, Salem was one of the important logistics hub in the state because of the location.
City bus connection is far excellent in Tirchy when compared to any other city in TN, Salem was much lagging behind in this due to poor planning from TNSTC-Salem. And the vestibule buses, low floor buses are not running much in Salem.
When coming to population, few claim that Salem may overtake Trichy is based on the % growth from 1991 to 2001. Salem had steep raise in population from 1991 to 2001 but Trichy had moderate one.
And one more info. let me add, few statistics shows that Salem stands 3rd next to Chennai, Coimbatore economically forward in many of economic indicators like GDP, Vehicle ownership, purchasing power etc.,
So running the city buses, international flights are not only the indicators for a city’s growth. Lot other data evaluate a city’s growth.
July 13th, 2009 at 11:43 am
@ARUL
What other data evaluates a citys growth….?????
Claims are not enough to take a firm decision…!!!
There is no way to take the Industrial lead of Trichy to Salem….That is confirmed through various resources….
The Industrial output of TRICHY is much much more than the Salem ….
Trichy city was already populated….Hence now a days you can find the population growth in the outskirts of the city areas which are going to be added sooner to the corporation limit. The TRICHY - ROCK CITY expands….
When you take the economic indicators like Vehicle ownership, purchasing power - Valparai stands higher than Salem….Does it mean Valparai is bigger than Salem?????
When you have more population in the city, you require the city buses on different routes to commute….Trichy has it. When a city economically grows, the transportation requirements goes up….Thus how ROCK CITY is well connected by road, rail and air… This is where TRICHY stands…
Almost certainly, it is good to have comparisons b/w cities on various data….TRICHY Welcomes…..
To say more, Still the ROCK CITY has more potential than Salem to grow in all the fields…
July 27th, 2009 at 11:42 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 2:54 pm
vellore is a big city in tamilnadu it has over 9 taluks population also increasing day by day
August 21st, 2009 at 4:23 pm
who told british people to make trichy railway as head quarters during their rule? who told to build st.lourds church at st.joseph’s college campus? Many things can be listed like this. The reason behind this is, trichy being geographically central location, which requires badly for any administration or management and this is confirmed by some statistics which had been taken for the growth of the business in recent times. So it is very clear that nobody, even politician can prohibit the growth of trichy. When we view the recent developments, it seems that trichy will grow enormously. but still i wish all cities and villages and all tamil speaking people in tamil nadu and around the world to grow.
thanks

Here is the proof for Salem leads Trichy in Manufacturing.
http://i26.tinypic.com/343m5pz.jpg
In the above link, Chennai & Coimbatore is in blue color contributes more to the states Manufacturing sector. And next comes Salem, Thiruvallur and Virudhunagar districts which are in rose colour and rest of other districts are in red colour.
And this is manufacturing centers in India.
http://i29.tinypic.com/2lw40mg.jpg
Coimbatore, Chennai, Salem, Erode, Karur, Namakkal, Virudhunagar & Tuticorin districts are shown as the manufacturing centres in TN state.
Having BHEL and power plant based machinery manufacturers alone does not make a city to be full fledged manufacturing centres. The other districts have very wide variety of field in manufacturing. So they take lead over Trichy districts.
If you have more data to shows Trichy’s manufacturing output is more than Salem, then please come up with statistics and info. proof, I will stand corrected.
September 7th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Dear Arul,
The link you’ve given doesnt bear out evidently that the Salem leads Trichy….The maps are shaded with some specific colours to show the GDP Manufacturing Centres….
U mentioned the districts like Salem, Namakkal,Karur,Virudhunagar,Tuticorin are in the rose cloured region…Trichy is too in the rose colour region along with Salem… Isn’t???Then why you have left Trichy to mention there???
And Trichy is not only having the BHEL…Trichy is a major engineering hub and energy equipment and fabrication center of India
A number of small scale industries have also sprung up in Trichy, mostly around Thuvakudi and Mathur. RockCity has two defense factories, SR Workshop(Manufactures and Exports), High Energy Battery Manufacturing Unit and more… Leather tanneries are located on the way to Pudukottai. Viralimalai, considered an industrial suburb has the factories like Ceethar, Sanmar, Rane, etc.,. Trichy has numerous rice mills supplying polished rice all over Tamil Nadu…
Can you tell the Industrial output of Salem in numbers…?
September 26th, 2009 at 9:41 am
@ Immanuel,
Salem Steel Plant, India Cements, TANMAG, Burn Standard & Co., Tata Refractories, Dalmia Magnesites, JSW Steel Works, Aaroghya (Hatsun Dairy), Raasi Seeds, Paraqon, Sanmar Chemicals, Mettur Thermal Power Plant, Mettur Hydro Power Plant are some major manufacturing units in and around Salem.
Salem also has several silver ancillary units, textile related units (like spinning mills, clustered looms etc) in its periphery. Salem is one of the regions with rich granite base.
The above mentioned industrial units (with the exception to Salem Steel Plant, and possibly JSW Steel) may sound new to you. But the ones you had mentioned in your post sound similar unfamiliarity to me, except BHEL at Trichy.
Anyways, since you have decided not to hear and understanding anything other that what you have known so far, the above few statements of mine will definitely be overlooked by you, and will not be taken by you in the right spirit.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Mr.Vijayan,
U shouldnt tell what i decided and understood….Here the discussion is going on the industry growth and spread of Tamilnadu Cities… Your data should speak…Dont try to debate by abusing anyones comment …No of persons reading and commenting on this site with their views…This is not a quarrel between TRICHY and SALEM….Indeed, you have not taken my views and comment in right spirit. Your last two lines of comment shows that you are so biased on Salem….
October 1st, 2009 at 6:17 pm
@Immanuel, The last line in your previous post replying to Arul (Can you tell the Industrial output of Salem in numbers…?) shows your lack of knowledge about the industrial strength of Salem. May be you did not get a chance to really study the industrial strength of Salem, as you are in a very small circle. And when I try to point that out, you think that I am biased on Salem. Yes, indeed being a native of Salem, I tend to be biased, but that does not mean that I am talking something without facts and figures.
Salem, in no way is lesser than Trichy in terms of industrial output. That is clearly visible if you get a chance to visit the statistics of the Commerical Tax returns by each region in the state in the TN government website. Salem zone generates the third highest commerical tax (taxes collected from all kinds of industries) in the state next only to Chennai and Coimbatore zone.
You are making a comment that my data should speak. I did give the list of major industries (just as you did) in and around Salem for your reference. I am not sure if you wanted me to provide you the balance sheet of each companies (just as you didn’t) I am refering to.
I am not debating, arguing or trying to abuse anyone personally. I am just trying to tell the facts.
October 5th, 2009 at 10:39 am
@Vijayan
In this column, i asked about the Industrial Output of Salem…It does not mean iam having lack of knowledge of Industrial strength of Salem. You never going to stop abusing….
Foremost try to understand what is Industrial output…How many industries located in Salem & how much they paying as commercial tax are not the answers of Industrial Output Question…
I never tried to hide the potential of Salem…Whilst the comments given by you and Arul just says Salem is doing well, never shows Salem leads Trichy…
And While you and arul (two links given by him to show salem leads bt never done d work)comments, never seen how trichy is doing and u veil it. Probably it could be your lack of knowledge to compare Salem with Trichy…Including me more persons have replied for u and Arul in the same column for your comments….
When you dont understand what is Industrial Output, i will never ask you for the balance sheet of each companies you refering to… If u r capable to talk about the balance sheets, i hope the industries in trichy too maintaining their balance sheets and they will speak:)
When you talk about the facts just stop with it…Never try to hide other cities potential…And your facts are not enough to show the Salem leads the ROCKCITY at all…
October 20th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Then why don’t you give enough facts and figures that tell that Trichy leads Salem in terms of Industrial output? That way we can conclude that Salem lacks behind Trichy.
What parameters and scale are you taking into consideration to say that Trichy leads Salem?
October 21st, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Y should I ????
As i’ve never started this debate on Industrial lead, I do not require to give the stat to show TRICHY leads Salem…FACT IS KNOWN BY EVERYONE.
When u say, Salem leads Trichy there is no enough facts to strengthen your statements….
when Arul said Salem is doing more than TRICHY, i replied him clearly in the same column…U also listed the industries in the Salem Region…Ofcourse, in the recent past Salem may have seen the growth….Fine,I agree.
By the same time y didnt u look into the growth of TRICHY???!…Bt just started to compare….For every comparison i too answered back.
U took the population and the Industry bed most seriously in this editorial column…
Since u’ve asked me, its my task to make u aware of the FACTS.
Population : Still TRICHY is in the forefront. -U can refer any website reg this
Industry Lead : Y salem hadnt been given with CII region HQ as just like Trichy got it…
Trichy region contributes 13% of the states GDP…Whre as the region under which Salem comes contributes just 7% of the states GDP….
I could give the Industrial output of TRICHY in numbers bt when u’ve not given it for Salem it wont make much sense.
I can show and list even more than this….If still u doubted on any other parameters, list it. V shall look into it…
October 21st, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Thank you so much SIR for the detailed explanation! Let Trichy be the front runner in every aspect! Long live, Trichy!
October 22nd, 2009 at 7:49 am
If coimbatore given little importance then it will be in a pole position with competition to other metro citeis in india. tirupur will lead trichy by 2020 t0 take fourth and tuticorin will take a lead position to 7 th in 2025

ERODE IS THE SIXTH LARGEST CITY IN TAMIL NADU.BUT TIRUNELVELI IN SEVENTH PLACE .PALIYAPALAYAM AND SPP COLONY HAS BEEN PRPOSED TO INCLUDE IN ERODE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AFTER INCLUDE ERODE IS THE FOURT LARGEST URBAN AGGLORMENT IN TAMILNADU
November 27th, 2009 at 3:47 am
My fact is…..
At business side both chennai & coimbatore are in same %…(they r in very important market point in india so dont compare that cities)
after that trichy is leading market when compare to madurai market.
1st trichy , 2nd madurai & Trippur 3rd salem & Erode 4th thudukodi
dont see the Pollution for the growth of the city…
Imman Talk’s about coimbatore comparision:
coimbatore have two airport’s in that city.. (Peelamedu & Sulur)
Peelamedu - international airport
Sulur - airforce
runway & passenger Details : Covai - 11,260ft - 847946 (Int.national passenger is less than trichy passenger)
2008-09 Madurai - 6790ft - 301703
Trichy - 8136ft - 435867
Salem - 6325ft
top Tax payCity: (after chennai)
1. trippur
2. covai
3. erode
4. salem
5. madurai
6. trichy
at the period of M.G.R as chief minister, he decided that TRICHY was the capital city of tamil nadu on 1992 but Unfortunately he passed away on 1987. very bad lucky. but trichy as many advantage for our tamil nadu..
Adv: => Center point of the state.
=> Large place for railway station & runway
=> Education
=> Many Govt project & plant
railway’s : 1. chennai railway dept
2. salem railway dept (Include the coimbatore junction)
3. Madurai railway dept
4. Trichy railway dept
Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai junc got A1 certification
Trichy , Salem, Erode junc got A certification
My lost information abt in this:
Salem will lead in business than trichy b’coz, salem is nearby the place of business area of covai,trippur,erode, karur,nammakkal….and the way to chennai
Trichy is now lead in education center while compare to coimbatore.. In trichy IIM is on there. is full advantage to trichy..all over tamilnadu the people to prefer their education to trichy after than chennai, covai, madurai.
Erode & Trippur are the main support for the coimbatore city.. without trippur, the covai is not made this like of huge busniess center of our state.
Education Means Trichy
Business means salem
in future madurai may be the capital of our tamil nadu…

There is no point in fighting between cities in TN.Every city has its own values. Excluding Chennai , Western TN got much much more industrial development. Cities like Salem , Erode, Tirupur and Coimbatore are lies in the Industrial valley chain which approximately distance of 50-60 KM . There is no way that cities like Salem or Coimbatore will less than Tiruchi or Madurai .Each stands superior in their own way. There is no need to say anyone that Coimbatore is next to Chennai in all aspects. It is the FACT. Lot of techies & industrialist are from CBE only. There is proposal to form Coimbatore - Salem Industrial Corridor to make this western TN pioneer in economy belt. Salem is emerging as leading city in all rounds of development. Past 2 decades salem is being growing leap and bounds. Salem has SAIL , Dalmia Magnesite , BurnStandard , SYSCOL , MALCO , CHEMPLAST and lot of spinning mills.
Tiruchi is very good historical place which attracts more tourist , no doubt in that and also have major industries like BHEL. And also one friend here told that Trichy had more international flights then CBE or SLM . For ex) Pune does not have flights to Dubai whereas Tiruchi got it via AirIndia express.Does it mean that Tiruchy is largest than Pune ????? Airconnectivity is purely based on people needs. And also in cental TN except Tiruchi all other towns are not witnessed much growth .
But if you see western TN each city CBE,SLM ,Erode,Tirupur , Namakkal all are part of industrial valley chain and well developed.
It is also known fact most of the people will migrate to western TN for their job opportunities. Tirupur alone have largest migrants from other parts of TN especially from south TN.
One more friend says that Tiruchi got railways division long back and premier educational institutions longs back..and so on… .. . .. ITS NOT ABOUT WHEN IT WAS STARTED, BUT HOW IT IS PERFORMING !!! . Highest revenue yielding railway division is NEWLY formed Salem division in the entire Southern railway :-)

Can you please see this link again? http://i26.tinypic.com/343m5pz.jpg
And can you please read the legend, the colour shows the different range of GDP from manufacturing. In that Trichy district falls under red and Salem district falls under rose.
Rose - 6385crores - 3192crores
Red less than 3192 crores.
The output is measured in terms of money here. As per the legend in that map, Salem’s manufacturing output is between 6385crores-3192crores and for Trichy is <3192 crores. I have given this value in terms of money, it is upto you to agree or dis-agree with the numbers.
Textile sector could have contributed much to Salem, as it falls in Coimbatore-Tiruppur-Erode-Salem textile corridor of the state. Anyway I will stop here the comparison between tier II cities of TN.

January 26th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Hi,
We can admit that Coimbatore tookover Madurai after 2001 but we dont feel it’s permanent. TN Govt was keen in developing western TN 10-15 years back-At the same time-Madurai was ignored -so CBE overtook Madurai in all the aspects…Eventhough now also both Madurai & CBE corporations have equal 72 wards - so no talk of 2nd position…if so-both the cities stand 2nd.
Now TN Govt is looking at industrialising the South with Madurai & Tuticorin as Hubs…Already we recieved a Huge tickets of investments in & around Madurai like VIDEOCON, POLYSINDO, TEXMACO Tractors, RR Industries SEZ, GRANITE polishing factory,AEROPARK etc and it is hoped that by this march Madurai region will attract its investments to the maximum…Once these industries get established & functional - I am sure the nearby district towns like Virudhunagar,Sivaganga,Manamadurai,Nilakottai,Usilampatti,Aruppukottai etc., will come under Madurai agglomerations as these areas will meet the high-demands of residential spaces..The scenario is the same like chennai as it got Sirperumpudur,Tiruvallur,Manali,Chengalpet,Kanchipuram under its agglomerations…With lots of industries coming & all other aspects the city already has like good commerce,trade etc.. - There is more than 80% chances of Madurai reverting back to the old history of being the second largest city of TN after chennai.
With its high toruism potency & huge catchment areas for foriegn nations such as Gulf etc - AAI is promoting the Madurai Airport with a massive plan which is bigger than Trichy- So, even now & in future-there is noway to Compare Madurai with Trichy..I dono how the trichy people call Madurai as Big Village as if Trichy is a cosmo/metro..
January 27th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
actually without any major industries TIRUNELVELI CITY has reach this population. Compare to tirunelveli all others tamil nadu cities having major industries centres. The city having only governments offices and professional colleges. this is only raise the population to this CITY. THIS IS THE REAL FACT OF THE NELLAI CITY
January 27th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
thanks mr. kannan
January 27th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
TIRUNELVELI CITY there is no major industries compare to tamil nadu other major cities. Although the city has reach this population only because of his history(because it was 2000 years old) This city has a several professional colleges and tamil nadu government offices (DIVISIONAL OFFICES)for four southern distrticts.
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:44 pm
compare 2 other cities nellai not have any major industries so pls help 2 develop this city if nellai have proper industries surely in 2015 nellai will become a one of the biggest city after kovai&madurai
February 6th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
in madurai there no big industries which is well known coz of that the growth is low but presently the airport in madurai is going to be the international airport and then the investment growth will increase…..madurai will not go down in achievements……even madurai will become the next capital city in tn…am proud to say am residing in madurai!!!!!!!!
February 6th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
ther no comparison 0f tire 2 cities…..all r in equal values but madurai is one of the historical city among all the city in world…..this makes tn proud….for the past 2500 years madurai is in the map no one can do anything in tn!!!!!!!!
February 6th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
madurai is the second largest city in tn..but there is no big industries in tn so growth is low. but presently madurai airport is going to become the international airport….then there will be more investments from many industries..then the growth of madurai will increase…..am proud to say am residing in madurai….JAIHIND !!!!!!!!!! ……….

The main advantages of Salem is its location at the exact juntion of Chennai, CBE and Bangalore(Exact Industrial/commercial developing belt) ….Salem Rly Division…plus Salem developed purely because of its own wealth it posses by nature and not depending on Govt’s plan…Still now salem is one of the most rejected city incase of many govt developing plans but this can’t Salem from what it is capable of……all the best to all tierII cities in India for 20-20 dream as they wud be the key players in future….

February 16th, 2010 at 12:13 am
@Jegan and @Chennaispot
For your kindest information Tirunelveli was made into Corporation In 1994 along with Salem. Not in 2001.
The link which u show bears a grave mistake of fact which the authorities must look into and correct immediately!
Well.. having said that, Tirunelveli is a very unique city in creating its own development and agglomeration pattern. As@ Mr.Kannan rightly said, to have a population of around 4,30,000(2001 census) without even a single large industry located anywhere near Tirunelveli is no joke. India Cements of Taalaiyuthu alone has been the only mentionable industrial output for Tirunelveli City. This shows that this city has a very strong Basic Resident Population. Tirunelveli has its vital twin Palayamkottai.. which is not for nothing called ‘THE OXFORD OF SOUTH INDIA ‘. There has always been a great awareness in this whole district about the education of the young, due to the role which palayamkottai has played in creating constructive and condusive environment for providing excellent School Education..thanks to some really admirable work of the christian missionaries who settled here long back and brought in this awareness by building so many vital educational institutions which along with many other new institutions stand tall even today in delivering this esteemed service of making the people here highly literate!
Even ppl living as far as 20 to 30 kms from Tirunelveli city seldom bother about providing their child with quality School Education as there is always the saviour in Palayamkottai available to them , that too with a really effecttive bus service network available, children pour in from various parts of the district into Palayamkottai convents.
Talking abt urban development.. one can see that in last ten years..there is a large no. of small scale industries from numerous automobile outlets to agricultural inputs and accessories outlets coming up all over the city in swift pace. The two Textile majors POTHYS and RMKV who rule Chennai textile market have their First ever Establishments in Tvl Town, which r even today doing a great business here too.
The stretch starting from K.T.C nagar in west, unfolding into Palay Main, going through industry rich vannarappettai and the pivotal Tvl Junction and passing through the busy S.N High Road and extending till Tvl Town’s outskirts in east…is a long 12km line with already a good urban agglomeration yet having a great potential for more rapid and rounded development due the excellent infrastructure available there. Now With the Govt proposed SEZs soon to come up in Nanguneri in south and the mega IT park coming up at Gangaikondan in north, with already the India Cement’s Shankar Nagar hub lying halfway between Tirunelveli and Gangaikondan…. the City surely sees Fast and Rapid industrial progress knocking at its doors. Yet the ppl of our City shud unite and requst Govt. to bring in more and more industries to this city.
Tirunelveli already being a great cultural and historic city, with numerous historic evidences pertaining to Hindhus, Christians and Muslims alike, the ppl of this city have strong humanistic values. If the educational potential available in this city is properly tapped and channellised into transforming itself to industrial output, by induction of more industries…. Tirunelveli will surely show an aggressive and an Effective Progress with its great Potential!
One shud not underestimate the the youth of this city. They are a very hard working, gutsy, sensitive, active and in a way an atheletic lot.. with a will for success and an yearning for distinction in whatever field they are in. This city’s youth r primarily more eagerly and passionately predisposed to Sports n Games than to any other entertainment options like Cinemas.. that explains why there r so many quality high class playgrounds found througout the city especially in Palayamkottai…! and the lack of Multiplexes etc.. Palayamkottai is proposed to become the SPORTS CAPITAL of Tamil Nadu, rightly so for the undaunting passion its citizens have for sports and games.
well… with all these features and potential available, and with the govt. Projects ready to hit, We r very soon going to see a VERY EFFECTIVELY AND DYNAMICALLY progressing city in NELLAI! Blessings of our perennial Mother Tamirabarani shall b with us forever!!!

Nellai is the only city which is self sufficient in drinking water. No begging bowl request to other states .The only perenial river of tamilnadu originates and ends in the district. With its sister city Tuticorin separated by 25 km from outer limits of both cities it is matter of time before they merge together. With the vagaikulam airport slap bang in the middle of both cities and the port city booming with investment it is matter of time before the southern cities challenge the rest. Keep watching.

July 21st, 2010 at 1:14 am
HI everyone
Dont be proud of the rising population in your cities. Controlling the population rise is the need of the hour, for the better living standards of every individual in our country.
lesser the population richer the people will be..
July 23rd, 2010 at 10:00 am
Do not take the population raise in a wrong way….When a city has industrial growth, people migrates and hence the population raise happens. It is not only due to the births. For eg., Madurai had crossed 5Lakhs of population in the year of 1971 itself. By that time Trichys population(around 3.71L) was more than Coimbatore. But now coimbatore leads MDU and TRY in population. In the last couple of years MDU seeing the negative growth in the population. At the same time the area, MDU corp covers is low as well.

@Vijayan,
He told about the comercial tax paid by the Salem region(Not for Salem City)…. Where is the proof?
IT Dept of India has released the list of cities ranked by tax paid… Where is Salem? No where in the top 50.
CBE-27
TRY-35
MDU-37
@Arul,
Given that Salem giving some crores on GDP by manufacturing which is more than TRY. Industrial Output doesnt only mean manufacturing.
By the fact Trichys Industrial output is tripple the times of salem.

By the living standards, Tirunelveli is better than Madurai.
