History
The market originally operated in the core city area near the Clock Tower in an unorganized manner. Considering the space shortage and traffic congestion, it has been shifted to the new sprawling area spreading over 52 acres along the Nasiyanur Road in Erode. The original plan of shifting was to integrate all the four turmeric markets in the city and make it as an Integrated Turmeric Complex. However, due to some controversies, the other three markets continue to operate separately.
Operation
The Market Complex is owned and maintained by the Erode Turmeric Merchants and Godown Owners Association, while the marketing and sale auctions were monitored and controlled by Erode Market Committee's Regulated Market. Erode Regulated Market has their Auction yard and branch office functioning inside the complex.
