Coimbatore is known as the Manchester of South India and some prefer to call it the Detroit of Tamil Nadu. Being the second-largest metropolis of the state, Coimbatore has a pleasant climate due to its proximity to thickly forested mountain ranges and the cool breeze blowing through the Palghat pass. With more than 25,000 small, medium and large industries, the city’s primary industries are engineering and textiles. The city also hosts jewelry and silk cotton industries.
