New Delhi, June 17 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to connect with the Indian diaspora for investments in their homeland are yielding impressive results, leading to an increase in FDI inflow into India.
In a notable advancement that underscores the strengthening of Indian-African business relationships, Shrai Madhvani, the promoter of the internationally recognized Madhvani Group, has unveiled significant investment intentions for India.
Praising Prime Minister Modi’s forward-thinking strategies, such as Ease of Doing Business, Make in India, and the government’s business-friendly stance, Madhvani emphasized that these measures were crucial in the Group’s choice to invest in India.
Madhvani recounted Prime Minister Modi’s 2018 visit to Kampala (Uganda), where the Prime Minister inspired the Madhvani Group to join India’s developmental narrative. The Madhvani family, with deep roots in Gujarat, holds a profound emotional and cultural bond with India.
During his overseas trips, PM Modi has consistently engaged with the Indian diaspora, motivating them to invest in their country of origin.
Madhvani and his family met with PM Modi recently, revealing plans to explore investments up to Rs 10,000 crore in India over the next five years, which is anticipated to create significant employment opportunities and bolster industrial growth.
In their meeting, Madhvani informed the Prime Minister about the Group’s strategic move into India through the acquisition of Hindustan National Glass & Industries Ltd. (HNGIL), the largest container glass manufacturer in India, currently undergoing insolvency proceedings since October 2021. This acquisition is being facilitated through INSCO, a subsidiary of the Madhvani Group.
The group also updated the Prime Minister regarding a recent Supreme Court ruling that paved the way for INSCO to assume control of HNGIL, marking a significant achievement for the Group’s entry into India.
The meeting symbolizes not only a moment of strategic economic collaboration but also a celebration of enduring cultural and spiritual ties between India and the Madhvani Group, Madhvani stated.
Madhvani also gifted Prime Minister Modi a book authored by his elder brother, Kamlesh Madhvani, and father, Manu Bhai Madhvani, both of whom have been instrumental in the Group’s global success.
