More than 30 years after the closure of the defunct chromium factory of the Tamil Nadu Chromate and Chemicals Limited (TCCL) in the SIPCOT complex near Collectorate office in Ranipet town, the spacious factory and the tonnes of uncleared hexavalent chromium wastes still remains a key point of discussion among voters in the Ranipet Assembly constituency. Established in 1975, TCCL aimed to provide key raw material requirements for leather tannery units in Ranipet, Ambur, Pernambut, and Vaniyambadi in the undivided Vellore district. The factory also provided jobs for local youth.
