Jaipur, 9 December (Hindustan Reporter). Aditya Birla Group will invest Rs 50,000 crore in Rajasthan in the next few years. Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla gave this information while addressing the inaugural session of the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit on Monday. Birla said that he is playing the role of host in this program because his roots are from Rajasthan. His family originated from Pilani, which is famous all over the world today. From here today we have become a 65 billion dollar economy. He announced that his company will invest Rs 6,000 crore in renewable energy and jewelery sectors in Rajasthan.
He said that the company will increase its cement production in Rajasthan by one crore tonnes. At present the group’s cement company has a production capacity of 20 million tonnes in Rajasthan. Birla said the group’s jewelery business unit is also planning to set up a small manufacturing unit in the state.
He said that we are committed to increasing investment in all our businesses. I think our group will invest fifty thousand crore rupees in the next few years in cement, renewable energy, telecom and retail. Six businesses of our group are today associated with Rajasthan. 25 thousand people are working in these. Our cement business Altatrack in Rajasthan has a capacity of 20 million tonnes. This is more than the capacity of the entire United Kingdom. Our telecom business has more than 8 million subscribers in Rajasthan. We are preparing to further expand the jewelery retail business in the state by setting up a plant with ten million tonne cement capacity in Nathdwara.
Birla appealed to all the industrialists and investors from across the country and the world to invest in Rajasthan and said, come to our country, let our country invest. He said that if Rajasthan rises, India will rise.
