Thoothukudi is all set to snap another mega deal, this one involving a massive USD 9 billion investment, as the State government is in the final stage of formalizing the setting up of a world-class petrochemicals facility in the port city in the South.
The project is mooted by the Sakthi Group of Companies of Coimbatore, which has already signed a facilitation agreement with UK’s Lamant, that will usher in the foreign direct investment (FDI) through a Qatari association.
The in-principal agreement for the USD 9 billion has been signed. We are waiting to complete the package and other terms and conditions, ” T. Raijkumar, Director at the 90-year-old diversified group, told DT Next, adding the deal is scheduled for February-end as the nitty gritties are getting finalised.
