In a series of tweets, Vedanta chief Anil Agarwal said his company would soon involve Maharashtra in "our forward integration".
A Maharashtra minister today thanked Vedanta for selecting the state for a “Vedanta-Foxconn affiliate project”, in a raging fight over Gujarat snagging a $20 billion project that Maharashtra had campaigned for. वेदांता-फॉक्सकॉनच्या संलग्न प्रकल्पासाठी महाराष्ट्राची निवड करण्याचा निर्णय घेतल्याबद्दल वेदातांचे अध्यक्ष अनिल अगरवाल यांचे आभार. महाराष्ट्रात मोठ्या प्रमाणात गुंतवणूक यावी आणि राज्यातील बेरोजगारी दूर व्हावी यास्तव युती सरकार कटिबद्ध आहे.
“Kudos to Anil Agarwal, President of Vedanta for deciding to select Maharashtra for the Vedanta-Foxconn affiliate project. The coalition government is determined to attract massive investment in Maharashtra and eliminate unemployment in the state,” Maharashtra Industry Minister Uday Samant tweeted this morning.
Yesterday, Mr Samant had revealed that in a phone call with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assured “a similar project, or a better one, to Maharashtra”.
