Thoothukudi, also known as Tuticorin, has its identity built around V.O. Chidambaranar Port, one of India's major artificial deep-water ports, which has made it a key centre for shipping, thermal power generation, and copper smelting industries along the coast, and is the headquarters of Thoothukudi district on the Gulf of Mannar coast of Tamil Nadu, around 60 km south of Tirunelveli on NH 32 and 165 km south of Madurai. Historically, the surrounding coastline was known for its pearl fishery in the Gulf of Mannar, and the city's salt pans remain a long-standing local industry, with Thoothukudi ranking among Tamil Nadu's leading salt-producing centres. The annual fishing festival held near the port also reflects the strong maritime and fishing-community heritage that runs alongside the city's industrial growth.
