Kerala has secured investment commitments worth $14 billion, or ₹1.18 lakh crore, during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos.
Sharing the details, Industries Minister P. Rajeeve on Thursday said this time the State is focussing on expression of investments, and looking at total investor commitment worth $14 billion, or ₹1.18 lakh crore, from global investors from the U.S., U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain and Africa, among others.
These proposals range across sectors — renewable energy, GCC, skill development, financial services, tourism, wellness, medical infrastructure, medical device manufacturing, among others, he noted.
He said the State has become the first fully digitally literate State in India, and it has also recognised Internet freedom by making access to the Internet a basic right for citizens.
Noting that Kerala has fragile land ecologically, Mr. Rajeeve said the State has therefore adopted a slogan of ‘nature, people, industry’.
