K'taka Deserves 2 Defence Corridors, Says MB Patil
The New Indian Express Mangaluru
|July 09, 2025
KARNATAKA Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil on Tuesday said that he, along with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, would meet Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Wednesday, and request the sanctioning of two defence corridor projects for the state.
Addressing the media in Bengaluru, Patil said that if defence and aerospace companies shift to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh or Tamil Nadu, it would be a big loss for Karnataka.
Patil said that the Tamil Nadu government has been actively expanding industries in Hosur, located just 40 km from Bengaluru. "They also plan to build an international airport at Hosur. Land is being allotted there at a highly subsidised rate. If Andhra Pradesh succeeds in attracting aerospace and defence parks, companies in this sector may shift their operations there causing losses of unimaginable proportions to Karnataka," Patil elaborated.
