Jayaraman, talking to reporters here on Monday, after the launch of the plant’s ‘Sustainability Report 2007’, said that they had invested nearly Rs. 1,200 crore on new and expansion projects in Mettur, Karaikkal and Cuddalore.

Releasing the report here on Monday, State Agriculture Minister, Veerapandi S. Arumugam, lauded the efforts of the industry for its involvement in social commitment. The industry-people interaction should be strengthened and transparency maintained, he said.
