Kolkata, Sep 24 (PTI) Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Thursday offered prayers at the Kalighat Temple here ahead of a packed day during which he would lay the foundation of a hospital built by his conglomerate, and hold meetings with West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and industry representatives.
Adani, who arrived in Kolkata on Wednesday night in his first visit to West Bengal since the BJP came to power in May, went to the famed Kali temple this morning and sought the blessings of the Goddess before focussing on his official engagements.
Later in the day, he would lay the foundation stone for Adani Arogya Mandir, a 2,000-bed hospital in Action Area 2 of New Town near Kolkata. Adhikari had earlier said half of the beds would be reserved for poor patients.
Though the official itinerary has not been announced, sources said that Adani is likely to have a luncheon meeting with the CM.
The dialogue is expected to anchor fresh industrial projects, potentially unlocking new investment avenues for West Bengal, they said.
The discussions may also touch upon other proposed urban renewal initiatives in the state, including the ongoing redevelopment of Kumartuli Ghat and the historic renovation of the Writers’ Buildings, the sources added.
Later in the day, Adani is slated to address and interact with a business chamber. PTI BSM ACD
