Tamil Nadu Chief Minister V. M. Vijay inaugurates a ₹1,700-crore Kothari Footwear plant in Karur. The reports describe the project as a facility being set up through a joint venture between the Evervan Group and Kothari Industrial Corporation. The plant is expected to produce footwear for Adidas, a German sportswear company, which will be supplied by the new manufacturing site.
One report frames the event as the inauguration of the facility, while the other describes the laying of the foundation stone for the same ₹1,700-crore project. Both accounts agree on the key details: the location in Karur, the project’s total investment value, the joint-venture partners (Evervan Group and Kothari Industrial Corporation), and the stated purpose of supplying footwear to Adidas. The articles do not provide additional timelines, capacity figures, or workforce estimates beyond the project’s planned role in Adidas’s footwear supply chain.
