Pranati Group of Industries is all set to enter infrastructure and housing projects in the country, backed by Rs 4000 crore (Rs 40 billion) funding from CRM International of the UK.

"We will be investing the entire amount in various infrastructure projects in the country within the next few months. Projects worth Rs 300 crore (Rs 3 billion) are already on hand," Pranati Group chairman and managing director Dipankar Sen said.

The group, started by ex-Tata Steel managers, has joined hands with Badsha Group and is implementing a Rs 205 crore (Rs 2.05 billion) Build-Operate -Transfer project at Haldia in West Bengal.

Sen said another Rs 160 crore (Rs 1.6 billion) BOT project in Haldia for ozonised water treatment was in the pipeline.

"We received a proposal to this effect from Haldia Development Authority about two months back. We have already submitted our plans and a final agreement is likely to be signed by March, 2005."

He said the company has received Centre's approval for converting a 333 km stretch of National Highway 33 between Barhagora and Barhi in Jharkhand and final agreement would be signed within the next two-three months.
