“He informed that JSPL had plans to invest a whopping Rs.1.20 lakh crore…”…Question for you Mr. Jindal what is the time frame for this investment? A couple of years back Anil Ambani after coming out of the Puri temple promised to invest thousands of crores in Odisha. Needless to say we are yet to say any of that. Perhaps we hope you’ll do a lot better. There is now a technology to make fuel from coal. You might have to find a technology to create currency from coal if you want to invest that amount in Odisha.
