ELCOT has an open office policy and encourages visitors to its corporate office to directly interact with the staff and the MD. Tamil Nadu was one of the first states in the Indian Union to formulate a comprehensive IT policy. As early as 1997, the State Government released an Industry -specific Policy for the IT industry to achieve the goals spelt out in the Ninth five year plan and to focus attention on the IT industry as an engine of growth in the State. However, the pace of change in the IT industry necessitated a revision of this plan. In the year 2002, the Government of Tamil Nadu released a new IT policy geared towards leveraging IT to herald prosperity in the State and to turn Tamil Nadu in to a Knowledge-empowered State.

The advent of the Internet has transformed the world in to a Global village and has ushered in an era of IT-enabled services delivery worldwide. As per the 2002 report of NASSCOM, IT and IT-enabled Services Industry will account for over 7% of India's GDP and 30% of Foreign exchange within a decade. This revolution will also generate over four million jobs in the Knowledge sector (IT and ITES industries). Tamil Nadu is uniquely poised to leverage this great opportunity due to its educated workforce and excellent administration. The Government of Tamil Nadu released an ITES policy in 2005 to highlight the advantages of ITES investment in the state.

• The Government of Tamil Nadu has enacted several proactive measures to enable IT and ITES companies to do business in the State with utmost ease and felicity
• The Government has granted 50% exemption on stamp duty for IT companies towards land registration and office construction
• The Government has extended 30% subsidy to small and medium enterprises on stall rent for participation in national and international exhibitions
• The Government has relaxed Floor Space Index (FSI) norms to IT Buildings to enable the entry of smaller IT companies

In addition, the Government of Tamil Nadu has also made a pioneering effort to promote computing in Tamil with innovative measures such as :

• Setting up Tamil Virtual University
• Creation of a society for providing web based certificate course for the International Tamil community
• Commissioning of the Research and Development projects in Tamil Computing

The policies of the Government are formulated and released by the Department of Information Technology, which is also responsible for policy implementation. After Chennai, the Government has decided to promote other potential cities in the State and has identified six cities - Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy, Tirunelveli, Salem and Hosur for development of IT & ITES business. ELCOT has initiated a massive drive to identify suitable land sites in the cities and other marketing activities to attract investors to come and set up their companies.
