Railway minister Mamata Banerjee has set a precedent by deciding to organise a formal pre-rail budget interaction with
industry bigwigs. Railway Board chairman S S Khurana sent out invites to the industrialists on Tuesday.
Sources said invites had been sent to apex chambers like Ficci, Assocham and CII along with leading regional chambers. Around 150-200 industrialists have been invited to Saturday’s meeting, including heads of Food Corporation of India, SAIL, Bharat Petroleum, Adani Ports (Gautam Adani), private shipyard builders, Siemens, Asea Brown Boveri, GE Infrastructure, GE Electric, Sumitomo and Hutchison. The meeting will be held at Railway Eco Park near Chanakyapuri in Delhi.
While Mamata is slated to address the industry heads, the meeting will be in the form of an interactive session, open to the media, where she will take suggestions for the railway budget as well as for new projects involving the railways. She had also met the business bosses last August, a few months after Trinamool’s Lok Sabha poll Success.
