New Delhi: Hinduja Group has offered to set up a gas-based power project and knowledge centre focusing on health and education in Haryana.

The offer was made by S P Hinduja, chairman of the group, to visiting Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala in London, a Haryana government release said on September 6.

The knowledge-based centre would be set up over a 100-acre area near Delhi and would have seven satellite centres.

Hinduja said the group would render all support to the Haryana government and had already invested in diverse areas including transport, heavy engineering, banking and financial services.

"Chautala can attract investors with duly approved projects the way honey attracts bees," Hinduja said.

Haryana, despite being an agrarian state, was on the threshold of industrial revolution, Chautala said, adding that as many as 60 per cent of the cars, 50 per cent of tractors and 60 per cent of motorcycles of the country were being produced there.

He sought the co-operation of British entrepreneurs as well as non-resident Indians settled in Britain to share their experience by setting up units in the state.

The Chief Minister was accompanied by vice-president of Foreign Investment Promotion Board Prem Singh and other high-ranking officials.
