The development comes as Tamil Nadu has been actively courting large-scale industrial and infrastructure investment, positioning itself as a preferred destination for both domestic and foreign capital.
Larsen & Toubro, one of India's largest engineering and construction companies with a diversified presence across infrastructure, defence, energy and technology, has had a longstanding footprint in the state.
The projected employment figure of over 8,200 people is expected to provide a boost to the local workforce across the project sites.
Vijay, the actor-turned-politician, leads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party and came to power weeks ago.
Further details on the timeline, nature and geographic spread of the three projects are awaited.
