In an exclusive interview to CNBC-TV18’s Kritika Saxena, Prashant Ruia, Director, Essar, said he is seeing a pick up in investment climate.
Speaking on the sidelines of Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2015, Ruia said the government has been working towards unclogging problems faced by industry. He feels ordinances on reforms and steps on coal e-auctions are significant.
The 7th edition of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit kicked off Sunday. Looking for lucrative investment opportunities, business heads from across the world converged in Gandhinagar for the two-day summit.
First conceptualised in 2003, this summit is Narendra Modi's pet project. The key speakers at the event included US Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon. The Prime Minister's 'Make in India' campaign gets a thumbs up from Indian and global honchos. India Inc too promises big bucks to Gujarat.
Essar has signed MoUs worth Rs 70,000 crore in Vibrant Gujarat in the past 6 years.
Ruia expects 2015 to be year of expansion on earlier investments. The group has been gearing up for consolidation across power, steel and energy sectors.
