The joint investment intent of US$ 11.5 billion noted at the meeting relates to an integrated aluminium complex in which Indian state?
- A.Gujarat
- B.Odisha
- C.Jharkhand
- D.Chhattisgarh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Odisha, where a joint investment intent of US$ 11.5 billion has been recorded for an integrated aluminium complex. Gujarat is wrong, although the state does figure in the meeting in two other ways: a Food Park project was reviewed there, and an aviation and logistics hub at Dholera was explored, while Mashreq Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank and the Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company have opened offices in GIFT City. Jharkhand is wrong because no project in that state was listed among the investments reviewed. Chhattisgarh is wrong for the same reason. The other investments named were Emirates NBD's majority stake in RBL Bank and International Holding Company's stake in Sammaan Capital. The Task Force has functioned since its establishment as an open mechanism for raising and settling investment concerns, and the two sides also used the Fast Track Mechanism to resolve pending issues affecting companies on either side.
