Sourav Ganguly Plans To Set Up A Steel Production Facility In Bengal

Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly is set to take on the role of industrialist by establishing a steel business in Salboni, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal.

Ganguly, who was part of a delegation accompanying West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on her 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai, predicted that the factory would be finished in five to six months.

The former captain stated, “I just take this opportunity to thank the chief minister as we are starting to build a third steel plant in Bengal”.

He went on to say, “A lot of us believe that I only played the sport. But we started a small steel plant in 2007, and in five to six months, we will start building our new steel plant in Medinipore”.

Speaking at the ‘Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS)’ in Madrid on Thursday, Ganguly stated that he would be able to finish the cutting-edge facility in another year.

“I must tell you this is from practical experience and not because I am with the chief minister, the entire process just took four to five months to complete”, Mr. Ganguly continued.

The former BCCI president mentioned his grandfather’s family business, which he started 50-55 years ago, and how supportive the state government was at the time.

“This state has always invited the rest of the world for business. That is why the CM is in this country today. It is very clear that the government wants to work for the development of the state and the youth”, the former BCCI president added.
