Bhubaneswar, November 18
Tata group Chairman Cyrus Mistry on Tuesday met Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik before the commissioning of Tata steel project at Kalinga Nagar.
During the discussion Patnaik proposed several industrial projects which could be developed by Tata Group in this eastern Indian state.
Proposing for development of an IT and Electronics Manufacturing Cluster at Naraj, the CM said an area of 800 acres is set aside for industrial development there. Tata Power can consider setting up a Defence Electronics Manufacturing Cluster there as they have done in Bangalore, said the CM.
The Chief Minister also proposed a PV Cells manufacturing unit at Info-valley by Tata BP Solar, a hotel at Bhubaneswar by Taj Group, and expansion of TCS by making it a major training centre. Mentioning that the progress of industrial park and SEZ at Gopalpur is not up to mark, the CM proposed Tata Chairman to consider defence manufacturing there.
Tata Chairman and other heads of Tata group assured to consider these project proposals at the earliest. It was decided there will be further discussion on these suggestions.
