Nagpur: Potential of East Vidarbha as an Investment Objective in the Sector Sector Since Fixed to Agriculture to Wildlife Tourism Unlimited, said the Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, while speaking at the Global Nagpur award on Saturday on Saturday.
Emphasizing the importance of marketing this potential to global investors, Gadkari said since the “product” itself is truly a world class should not be a big challenge.
“The global director for Walmart once came to meet me.
I asked him to taste orange fruit jam made by Noga (Orange Nagpur Growers Association).
I offered him a teaspoon, but Walmart’s top executive finally had a whole bottle,” the Union Minister said.
To mine natural resources, Gadkari said iron ore available at Gadchiroli was commendable.
“The value is very high.
After iron ore mining there is a potential to find a gold deposit too, which can be explored.
The closest area will also benefit because of this.
A home house is planning a RS5,000 crore factory near Ashti,” said Minister of Transport and Highway .
Wildlife tourism can also be brought to the next level using environmentally friendly decisions, Gadkari said.
“We are the capital of the world tiger and Tadoba is a big draw.
At present there is a limit on the number of vehicles that they are allowed in because of the noise and pollution they make.
I have suggested to the authorities that nine-seat electric vehicles can be used in Tadoba, which produce Voice or pollution, “he said.
Doing that will increase the number of flights that enter Nagpur as a tourism boom, Gadkari added.
“Other attractions will be inaugurated in the city next month.
Futala will have a fountain that the capacity of the water jet will be the highest in the world,” he said.
Appreciate the role of Nagpur first – Global Organizers of the Nagpur Awards – in Pitching Nagpur as an investment decision to the world, Gadkari said the export potential of the area must be highlighted.
“We have a dry port here and today I have announced that it will be inaugurated soon, and from here export can directly be done.” Bal cotton used to go to Bangladesh through Port Jawaharlal Nehru (near Mumbai) will now go through Haldia and transportation costs will decrease, he added.
“We have a logistics garden here because of our central location,” Gadkari said.
He added that airport expansion planned for Nagpur is currently trapped because new tenders have not been waved by the Maharashtra government.
Nagpur first encourages national and international investors to see the area as a potential destination for investment.
Over the years the organization has conducted focus and intensive sessions for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Gadkari said, “Nagpur first has a key role to play in showing off the city to the world.”
