New industrial policy made corporate groups invest in Jharkhand: CM Hemant Soren

Jamshedpur, April 3: Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren attributed new industrial policy of the state government as the reason for investments done by industrial houses including Tata Groups in Jharkhand.

 “The foundation stone has been laid for the expansion plans of The Tinplate Company of India Limited. I hope that this work will be completed on time, due to which the people here will get direct and indirect employment. Employment will be created if industries are set up in the state. Policies should be made for this so that more and more industries are set up. After the formation of the government, the new industrial policy was made after which various industrial houses decided to invest in Jharkhand,” said Soren after taking part in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Tinplate Company’s (a  Tata Steel’s subsidiary) expansion project at Golmuri in Jamshedpur on Monday.

 “In this sequence, cooperation of many industrial houses was received. People from the Tata group were also present during the launch of the industry policy. Better results have been seen. It is the result of the industrial policy that today Bhoomi Pujan was done for the expansion of TCIL. Even before this, expansion of cement factory was done in Bokaro and production has also started from there,” added Soren.
