He said the company was evaluating prospects for acquiring iron ore, bauxite and limestone mines in four Indian states, as well as setting up a hotel in the south-western state of Goa famous for its beaches. It would also look at two other states Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh for mining operations.
"We will also set up a greenfield steel plant in one of the southern states. A core team of 15 professionals is working on the roadmap for this," he told the IANS.
The 3-billion-dollar JB Group is named after its founders Jivraj Surani and Bhagwan Kukadia, both Indians. Founded in 1965 as a diamond-polishing company, the group started using Hong Kong as a global launch pad since 1993.
It now operates in markets across the globe with a broad and rapidly expanding portfolio in mining, oil, gas and alternative energy, real estate, international trade and consultancy, and diamonds.
