Adhikari takes Bengal’s investment pitch to Mumbai
West Bengal's Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is set to attend a dinner at the BRICS Summit in Delhi on Saturday, potentially meeting Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani in Mumbai. Adhikari also plans to lay the foundation stone for a 2,000-bed hospital by the Adani Group near Kolkata on September 24. The 18th BRICS Summit, held in New Delhi from September 12-13, aims to attract major investments to West Bengal.
Adhikari is working to secure greater participation from large corporate groups in the state's development. He revealed that Anant Ambani, Mukesh's son, invited him to attend the family's Ganesh Puja celebrations. The Chief Minister stated that the government has responded to a letter from the DRDO regarding a proposed defence project at Junput in Purba Medinipur district.
The DRDO plans to set up a centre for testing weapon systems at Junput. Adhikari also announced the completion of the Rs 6,000-crore expansion project of Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd, which is ready for inauguration before Durga Puja. The BJP-led state government aims to project West Bengal as an attractive investment destination, showcasing projects like the Adani hospital.
