Ten proposals from Chinese companies have been handed over to Sri Lanka's investment promotion ministry, an official said here Friday.
Investment Promotions Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardana told the media that the proposals were to set up factories in areas such as the central and eastern parts of the country.
The proposals include a steel factory, an IT Park and assembling motor vehicles, reported Xinhua.
"One proposal was to produce herbal beauty products but most of them are for smaller ventures of around $25-50 million," he added.
