Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani to Meet West Bengal CM in Kolkata

Kolkata, September 24 (Daily Kiran) : Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, arrived in Kolkata on Wednesday evening and is scheduled to meet with West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday.

Early Thursday, Adani visited the renowned Kali Temple in Kalighat, South Kolkata, to offer prayers. Later in the day, he will attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the ‘Adani Arogya Mandir,’ a proposed 2,000-bed hospital in New Town, where the Chief Minister is also expected to be present.

This hospital initiative is part of the state government’s efforts to attract investment in the healthcare sector. It marks the beginning of a broader investment campaign by the Adani Group in West Bengal.

During the meeting with Chief Minister Adhikari and senior cabinet members, discussions about the group’s future investments in the state are anticipated. Following the recent political shift in West Bengal, the BJP-led state government has been focusing on promoting investment opportunities.

Chief Minister Adhikari has pledged to create more jobs and establish industries to boost the local economy. Several prominent business leaders are showing interest in investing in the state, and the government hopes the Adani Group will contribute to various sectors.

Sources from the state secretariat indicate that the Adani Group plans to invest in multiple areas within West Bengal. The group has already participated in the renovation of the historic Writers’ Building, located in B.B.D. Bagh, central Kolkata.

Additionally, the Adani Group will play a role in the upcoming Durga Puja festival. They will select eight of the best community Durga Puja celebrations and provide each with a donation of 2.5 million rupees.

A special tour program has also been organized for distinguished guests, aimed at showcasing the art and traditions of Durga Puja to a global audience. This preview tour will take place over three days, on October 10, 11, and 12.
