Perambalur
Perambalur is one of TN's smaller districts by population. The economy is largely agrarian — cashew + sugarcane + paddy on the lift-irrigation belt. The district borders Trichy + Ariyalur and shares those industrial spillovers, but the local economy is dominated by agri MSMEs.
Erode
Erode hosts India's largest turmeric mandi, the Bhavani handloom cluster, a long-standing knitwear ecosystem (adjacent to Tirupur), and an active poultry sector. Strong cotton-textile heritage, modest packaged-goods presence.
