PM has assured CM Shinde of Vedanta-Foxconn like project for Maha: Minister, blames MVA

THANE: Under flak for losing out on the mega Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor project to Gujarat, the Maharashtra government on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured the state will get a similar project or even a better one.

Talking to reporters here, a day after Gujarat bagged the project, state Industries Minister Uday Samant alleged the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) dispensation was responsible for the loss as it sat on the project offer for seven months whereas the new government approved incentives worth Rs 38,831 crore in July.
