Kolkata: Saroj Poddar Group plans to set up a phosphatic fertiliser plant at Haldia with an investment of about Rs 2,000 crore. The Rs 40,000-crore city-based conglomerate, which recently changed its name from Adventz Group, is charting a roadmap to expand across its four verticals: agro-chemicals, engineering and infrastructure, lifestyle and real estate, and services. Headed by chairman Saroj Kumar Poddar, the group is scouting for 100-150 acres at Haldia. “We are ready to invest Rs 2,000 crore in Bengal, but port connectivity is vital, making suitable land in Haldia crucial. The group plans to pump Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 11,000 crore into Bengal over the next three to four years. It is also developing a logistics and warehousing park across 100 acres at Sankrail in Howrah with an investment of about Rs 1,000 crore.
We will meet the industry and commerce secretary again,” group president Indrajit Mookerjee told TOI. We have requested industry and commerce minister Tapas Roy and finance minister Swapan Dasgupta for the project and are waiting for govt cooperation for land acquisition.
