Chhindwara beckons Sunil Mittal

 Mittal was accompanied by about ten other top business leaders in his visit to the tribal dominated district of Madhya Pradesh at the invitation of Nath.

 Nath was joined by the business delegation, who held discussions with the district authorities and other stakeholders for finding ways to use the existing resources of the area, an official said.

 The Nagpur-Chhinwada belt is famous for citrus fruits and minor forest produce, which has strong demand in the domestic and foreign markets.

 To encourage exports of fruits and vegetables from the area, the Centre has declared Chhindwara as an agri-processing zone.

 At present, only Raymond and Hindustan Lever have units in this region.
