I have been leaning towards Chennai, which, I believe, is a close
approximation of this, but you folks are the experts.
Chennai wouldnt be a bad choice at all though Coimbatore would be
interesting. It has been a "mill town" for generations, with several
textile companies based in or near it and pumping lots of money into it
It is a rather nice city, surprisingly good living conditions. Not exactly
the sort of hellhole you would look for .. now if you want land that's
ripped out of farmers' hands and used for SEZ look for Goa or Singur near
Calcutta .. though the SEZs there seem to have got shelved.
But hell, if you're writing scifi there aint no need to stick to facts :)
