The Chief Minister, while addressing the gathering after performing the groundbreaking ceremony of the Green Steel Plant coming up at a cost of Rs 2,600 crore, said, "Tata is a renowned company across the globe and the huge investment made by it in the state will inspire other companies to follow suit. This is the second-largest plant by the Tata Group in the country after Jamshedpur. This is the company of patriots, who have played a pivotal role in national freedom struggle."

Bhagwant Singh Mann said that besides opening new avenues of employment for the youth, this project will act as a catalyst in giving a fillip to the industrial development of the state.

The Chief Minister said, "This whopping investment is a slap in the face of those forces that defame the state on the law and order front. Such investments come only in peaceful states, and this investment has proved that Punjab is today the most peaceful state in the country."
