History

The market was originally functioning in the core city area in an unorganized manner. Considering the space shortage and traffic congestion, it has been shifted to the new sprawling space spreading over 52 acres along Nasiyanur Road. The original plan of shifting was to integrate all the four turmeric markets in the city and make it as an integrated Turmeric Complex.[2] But owing to some controversies, all the other three markets were still functioning separately.

The Market

The Complex is owned and maintained by Erode Turmeric Merchants Association, while the marketing and auctions were controlled by Erode Market Committee's Regulated Market.[3] Erode Regulated Market has their Auction yard and office functioning inside the complex. It also has an extension counter of a Nationalized Bank. The market functions daily with Auction sales.

Apart from this, the other three Turmeric Markets functioning in Erode are[4]
