Though the fate of mega projects of Vedanta, Posco and ArcelorMittal is uncertain in Odisha, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla today said two of his company's aluminium projects in the state were "on track".
"Our two aluminium projects in Odisha are more or less on the track," Birla told reporters after meeting Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik this evening.
Claiming that they do not have any problem in the state, Birla said "we discussed with the Chief Minister small issues. The state government has been very responsive and responding quickly."
Birla said he apprised the Chief Minister of the progress made on the two aluminium projects.
Asked about Essel Mining, Birla said "I have not come here to discuss on Essel Mining. I think we will have to wait for the Justice Shah Commission's report."
Naveen Patnaik said "Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla came to see me with his officials and we reviewed the projects. They are coming up with very important and big projects in the state.
