Union Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Ananth Kumar has promised to set up a Central Institute of Plastic Engineering & Technology (CIPET) in Hubballi.
“The Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has informed that the Karnataka State Co-operative Marketing Federation is ready to give 42 acres of land at Tarihal on the outskirts of the City. We are ready to set up CIPET here, if land is provided. The foundation stone for CIPET will be laid immediately after the land is given,” he said.
Speaking at KCCI’s 89th Foundation Day programme here on Saturday, he said he has urged the union ministers concerned to speedily implement doubling and electrification of the Hubballi-Bengaluru railway line and to introduce air service between Bengaluru, Hubballi, Belagavi and Mumbai, with bigger aircraft.
