Business in Tiruchirappalli
BHEL's boiler plant made Tiruchirappalli a heavy-fabrication centre, and many small units around it make pressure parts, structures and equipment for power, process and oil-and-gas projects. Ordnance factories and the Golden Rock railway workshop add engineering employment, NIT and IIM Tiruchirappalli draw students, and the Cauvery delta supplies rice and bananas to the city's markets.
Also known as Trichy and Tiruchi.
Where software helps: Boiler and pressure-part fabricators here must keep IBR inspection records, welder qualifications and material certificates tied to each job, while chasing stage-wise payments from large EPC customers.
