It’d be great if Bengal gets EV manufacturing industry: Mamata to Gadkari

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari here on Thursday and discussed with him several infrastructure projects in a bid to invite global investors to the state.

She told the Union minister that it would be good if West Bengal gets an electric vehicle manufacturing industry. The chief minister also said the state requires proper roads as it borders Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and northeastern states.

Banerjee, who is in Delhi to initiate talks with opposition parties to stitch together a united front against the ruling BJP, brought up pending road and transport projects, including the deep-sea port at Tajpur, during her discussions with Gadkari, sources said.
