Billionaire Wang Jianlin's Dalian Wanda Group agreed to spear head a $10-billion project to build an industrial park in India, in what could become one of the biggest development projects in the country
Wanda Group, China's biggest commercial property developer, signed a preliminary agreement with the state of Haryana to build an industrial zone, the company said. The first phase of `Wanda Industrial New City', the construction of which may begin this year, will span 13 sq km and house companies in industries ranging from software to cars and healthcare, it said.
Should the project be completed, it would mark as a victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to bring in foreign capital. The investment's scale suggests it would be the largest foreign investment into India.
The Wanda agreement is the result of talks between Wang, Modi and Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar that began in June of 2015. A `Wanda Cultural Tourism City' and a residential district may also be developed as part of the project.
