'Investments will cross Rs 6-lakh cr target'

The State government has received an overwhelming response from investors from across the globe, and the total investment commitments would cross the target of Rs 6 lakh crore, said Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani on Thursday.

Briefing the media on the inaugural day of the Global Investors Meet, he said about 400 MoUs worth over Rs 5 lakh crore were signed on day one. Among the MoUs is a 18,000 MW power project in the State, he added. He said details of the MoUs will be disclosed after the event on Friday.

The Japan International Construction Company will prepare a detailed project report by end of December for the high-speed railway network between Bangalore-Mysore, Bangalore-Belgaum and Bangalore-Gulbarga.

The Japanese company would be sourcing funds for the project from the World Bank and there will be no financial commitment from the State government, he said. The high-speed rail network is expected to cost Rs 200 crore per km.
