The world’s leading steel and mining company ArcelorMittal will invest more than Rs 50,000 crore in Gujarat, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said, a day after its executive chairman Lakshmi Mittal called on him.
“All industrialists from India and abroad, including Lakshmi Mittal, are coming to Gujarat for making investment as they count Gujarat as the best (investment) destination. Lakshmi Mittal came to meet me yesterday (Saturday). He told me that he will make an investment of more than Rs 50,000 crore in Gujarat in the coming days,” Rupani said.
During his trip to Gujarat, Mittal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended the Combined Commanders’ Conference in Kevadia in the state on Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said, adding that it was a courtesy visit.
Mittal talked about his proposed contribution for making Gujarat as an industrial leader during his discussion with the deputy CM and the CM.
“I was left wondering how in a short time the Prime Minister transformed it. Kevadia is a pride of India. Kevadia is a living symbol of the fact that India is in strong hands and India’s future is secure,” Mittal wrote.
