Chhattisgarh gets Rs.4,000 billion investment

RAIPUR - Chhattisgarh, which came into existence in 2000, has received Rs.4 lakh crore (Rs.4,000 billion) investment from core industries alone, the state’s Chief Secretary P. Joy Oommen said Thursday.

The state will also create three mega-industrial parks to attract fresh investment proposals, Oommen said while inaugurating a conference on minerals and metals, organised by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

“The state will ensure zero power cut for investors and improve infrastructure, which is not only being strengthened but intensified in semi-urban and rural areas,” he said.

“The government will set up gems and jewellery, metal, herbal, IT and bio-technology parks and has invited investors.”
