“We are also pursuing options in Maharashtra and Uttaranchal, where the Mahindras are already present. We will decide soon depending on the government’s reaction,” he said. State industry minister Botsa Satyanarayana said, “We are ready to provide all support within the ambit of resources and legal provisions.” The concessions sought by the Mahindras included sales tax deferment, rebates in excise duties, extension of rail link up to the factory in Zaheerabad and easy and cheap power, water and other urban utilities. “We will pursue the excise and rail-link issues with the Centre. We are agreeable to the other issues now,” said the industry minister.
