The Cost That Disappeared — And Why It Matters
In Coimbatore, electricity is not just a household utility. It is production fuel. From weaving units in Sulur to small workshops in rural belts, power supply determines whether machines run, looms operate and margins survive.

10,044 Houses. And the Architecture Behind Delivery.
