Construction Products Company (CPC) is expanding its international investments in India by developing an industrial park there in partnership with IL&FS Engineering & Construction Company (IECC).
This was announced by Faisal Al-Aquil, director of business development and head of corporate social sesponsibility at CPC.
He was speaking at the annual day event of the Indian Engineering Forum (IEF) in Jeddah.
Indian Ambassador Hamid Ali Rao, Consul General Faiz Ahmed Kidwai and IEF President Mohammed Sayeeduddin were also present.
Al-Aquil said: “The industrial park is the biggest venture yet by CPC in India, where its operations have so far been limited to building factories.”
Al-Aquil said Indian workers played a major role in CPC’s success.
“CPC is very proud to have around 40,000 skilled Indian workers within its various companies and CPC’s success would not have been achieved without them,” he said.
Ambassador Rao praised the bilateral relationship between Saudi Arabia and India.
He said Saudi Arabia is the largest oil supplier to India and bilateral trade exceeds $ 25 billion.
“The Saudi leadership greatly appreciates the contribution of Indian workers in the Kingdom,” he said.
