According to estimates provided by Tasmac sources, on April 30 the Chennai zone saw sales of ₹63.44 crore while Madurai and Coimbatore zones clocked sales worth ₹59.63 crore and ₹56.37 crore respectively. The Trichi and Salem zones saw transactions to the tune of ₹56.72 crore and ₹55.93 crore. Sources said the sales were high due to a long weekend, and this had nothing to do with the election results which was slated to be announced on May 2.
