In the X post, Agarwal said, "Industrial clusters are an engine of economic growth, which can generate massive jobs. Vedanta is going to set up two industrial parks, one for aluminium and another for zinc and silver."
The focus of these parks would be Zinc and Silver. Interestingly, these parks, according to Agarwal, would be set up on a not-for-profit basis.
According to Agarwal, the multibillion dollar mining company will play the role of an anchor, providing required impetus to potential entrepreneurs, intending to set up their entities in the park. He added, "Entrepreneurs can set up hundreds, even thousands, of downstream industries and other associated enterprises. We will also consider similar parks for oil and gas, and iron and steel."
