Tamil Nadu government plans to incentivize the creation of high-paying jobs in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) by offering a payroll subsidy. This move aims to attract more GCCs to the region and compete with hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The subsidy will be provided for three years, with 30% in the first year, 20% in the second year, and 10% in the third year for jobs paying above Rs. 1 lakh per month. Industry experts believe this initiative will accelerate growth and attract investment to the state. However, it is noted that a welcoming culture for outsiders will also be crucial for the success of this strategy.
