Haldia, Oct 14 (UNI) Seeking to turn West Bengal into an industrial destination, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday unveiled a Rs 6,000-crore phenol and acetone complex at Haldia, declaring an end to the country’s dependence on imports of the two industrial chemicals and promising a fresh investment push backed by a new industrial policy before Diwali.
The inauguration of AdPerMa Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Haldia Petrochemicals Limited, was accompanied by announcements of two more industrial projects in Haldia, a proposed data centre in Bengal and a 50-bed trauma centre for industrial workers by June 2027.
