“There has been a good response. Some MoUs were signed, some expressions of interest were made... We are in the process of compiling... All details will be revealed at the valedictory session of the summit on Thursday evening,” Industries Minister R V Deshpande told reporters.

To a query on how many companies or investors evinced interest in these projects on Wednesday, Deshpande said, “We will provide all details on Thursday. As a responsible government we cannot release half-baked information to the media.” He said the government had not set any investment target, and the meet was only a platform for it to build a rapport with industries.
