Official ground-breaking ceremonies for these companies' factories and units are planned for after Diwali, district officials were informed.

By the end of the year, these enterprises' factories and setups will be completely operational, providing 13,217 residents with work opportunities. The industries department had already begun planning for the groundbreaking ceremony for the factories and units that these companies had established in Prayagraj, the officials added.

After the agreement, business worth more than ?80 billion is set to start in just next seven months and the ground-breaking ceremony of their plants and units will take place soon,? said Sharad Tandon, deputy commissioner (industries), Prayagraj.

According to officials, investments totaling $10.75 billion in alternative energy and $6 billion in transportation are expected to provide the Prayagraj region's business climate a boost unlike anything it has ever experienced.
