Reliance has acquired 175 acres of land for its proposed coal-fired 300 mw power generation plant while HCL, the computer major, has taken 80 acres of land for IT park.
Reliance has already selected boundary fencing to earmark the area, official sources told PTI. In a major drive MIDC has taken back possession of 200 industrial plots from buyers who had not taken any initiative to set up industry.
