Power consumption went up, economy has re-bounced: CM

The Gujarat government rolled out the red carpet to businesses from the United States to invest and partner with Gujarat, at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Thursday, where Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was the only CM to address it.

Inviting the US industry to invest in Gujarat, calling it an ideal investment destination, Rupani said that Gujarat’s economy has rebounced after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Using power consumption as the indicator, Rupani said, “I am happy to share that on August 29, 2020, our power consumption was 5% more than that consumed the same time last year. This clearly shows that the economy has re-bounced and is steadily back on growth curve.”
