The Bhopal-based Bansal Group, which has projects in different parts of the State, besides these will also set up four super-specialty hospitals and a five-star hotel in Bundelkhand.
“Pacific Industries Ltd. owns iron ore mines which have been allotted to the State and will set up the steel plant in Niwari district.
