History
Along with Avadi, Sembium, Ennore and Tiruvottriyur, Ambattur is part of the "auto belt" in the city's industrial north and west regions that developed when the automobile industry developed in Madras, in the early post-World War II years. Sir Ivan Stedeford, chairman of Tube Investments, United Kingdom, was instrumental in starting the TI factory and TII complex in the country. Sir Ivan signed a joint venture agreement with A. M. Murugappa Chettiar of the Murugappa Group. It was the first joint venture agreement to be signed in South India post-independence. This resulted in the establishment of the TI Cycles of India factory in Ambattur in 1951, and manufacture of bicycles under 'Hercules India' brand began.
