It is a culmination of series of meetings due to collective effort of the entire government,” he said.
Rama Rao said about 80 per cent of the investment proposals have been operationalised and the remaining 20 per cent are in various stages of implementation. About 23 per cent of the total investments are from existing units who are expanding their operations.
