Where they want to put their money

Published On : 04 Feb 2016


Bengaluru, DHNS:  Reposing their faith in Karnataka’s industrial climate, strengthened by a tradition of effective policies and governance by the State government, several leading industrialists on Wednesday announced investing their capital and resources in the State. Declaring their commitment towards the State at the Invest Karnataka-2016 global investors’ meet, industry captains evinced their interest in various sectors that have presence in the State.

It is a privilege to be associated with Karnataka. The State has always been and will remain at the centre of IT/BT and electronics, aircraft and aerospace industrial sectors. Investors and industrialists should consider the State for their investment proposals.

JSW Group will invest over Rs 35,000 crore in the next 3-5 years in Karnataka. We have already invested around Rs 60,000 crore in Karnataka (towards JSW’s steel plant in Hosapete), and would be expanding our business by investing another Rs 35,000 crore in the next 3-5 years.
Sajjan Jindal, Chairman, JSW Group

Infosys will set up its fourth development centre at Hubballi. Currently, it has development centres in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Mangaluru. Without munificence of the government, Infosys wouldn’t exist. While many leading banks refused us a loan of Rs 50 lakh in 1983, the KSIIDC and the KSFC came to our rescue, releasing the money within a week.

Aditya Birla Group has plans to invest Rs 2,000 crore in Karnataka in the near future — in telecom, apparel and retail businesses. The group has already invested Rs 30,000 crore in the IT sector in the State, while an investment of Rs 5,000 crore on a cement plant, and Rs 1,000 crore on plantation farming at Harihar will be made. The Group will be aggressively investing in the solar energy sector, telecom, apparel and also in the startup sectors, besides taking up CSR projects in over 100 villages in Karnataka.

The Reliance Group will set up a centre for research, development and innovation in aerospace technology, at Whitefield, Bengaluru.
