Chief Minister Nitin Patel in his inaugural address congratulated Apollo and its management for taking forward the ‘Make in India’ vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and acknowledged that the Apollo Inffratech Group has been taking forward India’s vision of infra development by bringing world-class concrete technolo- gies from the best global sources.
He gave his assurance that the state as well as the Central government would foster a conducive environment for the construction equipment sector, with more business-friendly policies for companies involved in infrastructure development, so that the country could achieve its goal of developing world-class infrastructure.
