The BJP-led Chhattisgarh government today held a road show here to attract investors from IT and bio technology sectors, promising incentives and uninterrupted power.
The road show is being organised ahead of the November 1 Global Investors Meet (GIM) in Naya Raipur, a new planned township built on 8,000 hectares by the State Government.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh told reporters after a one-on-one meeting with investors from IT, BT and ITES sectors that “Chhattisgarh offers ample opportunities in terms of investment in power, steel, aluminium and cement. Now it wants to diversify into the IT and BT spheres also.”
Rajyotsava
The government is organising a week-long Rajyotsava day along with GIM, he said, adding, the State is also developing a 400-km railway corridor which is expected to be completed in four years.
“For the next 20 years we will promise uninterrupted power supply to industry and agricutlure,” Singh said, adding that Chhattisgarh is a power surplus State in the country.
Singh said his government is opposed only to FDI in retail and not in other sectors.
The Chief Minister is accompanied by Industry Minister Rajesh Munat, Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Corporation Chairman Badirdhar Diwan and Chief Secretary Sunil Kumar.
Sunil Kumar said of the 38 MoUs inked during the first GIM, 30 have already been implemented.
The State is looking at projects which generate more employment, he said.
