Adani calls on Mamata, discusses investment scenario in Bengal

Gautam Adani, the country’s second-richest industrialist, blew into town on Thursday for a pow-wow with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, creating a flutter in industry circles and promising to provide a coruscating edge to the state’s global investment summit in April.

Details of the meeting, which was held in secrecy at Nabanna, were kept tightly under the wraps.

After the meeting, Adani tweeted: “Delighted to meet @MamataOfficial, Hon’ble Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Discussed different investment scenarios and the tremendous potential of West Bengal. I look forward to attending the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS) in April 2022.” He also posted a photograph with the Chief Minister.
