Roy said the talks cover expansion of existing businesses and new units in sectors like IT, metals, hospitality and retail. The move comes nearly 18 years after Tata Motors pulled out of the Singur project following land agitation led by Mamata Banerjee. An arbitral tribunal awarded Tata Motors Rs 765.78 crore plus 11% interest in 2023; the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation has challenged that award in the Calcutta High Court. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com - indiatoday.in Tags: Industrial Policy, Investments, Singur, Tata group, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/west-bengal-in-talks-with-tata-group-for-fresh-investments/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
