Aditya Birla Group is likely to set up a paint manufacturing unit in West Bengal at Rs 1,000 crore investment, and the project will be commissioned within two years.

Officials told the media that in a letter to CM Mamata Banerjee, the group showed interest to set up a paint manufacturing unit in West Bengal, and then three group representatives met the Chief Secretary, H K Dwivedi, on Thursday.

Officials said that the company requested the allotment of land for a decorative paint unit on an 80 acres land at Vidyasagar Park in Kharagpur.

According to a state government official, the paint manufacturing unit will employ 600 people, and the government will create indirect employment for 1,500 people.

The West Bengal Industry Minister, Parth Chatterjee, said that it is a good sign that industrialisation is gaining pace again in the state under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee.

He said that the recently formed investment promotion board would help in better coordination among the departments and boost the pace of industrialisation.
