Indian and US companies to invest in SriLanka


Three foreign companies, including an Indian sugar manufacturer, will set up factories at an economic zone in southern Sri Lanka that is centred around a USD 361 million China-funded harbour, a top official said there Thursday.
The Indian sugar company, a Singaporean petro-chemical plant and a Pakistani cement grinding factory are expected to begin building their factories this month, said Sri Lanka Ports Authority Chairman Priyath Bandu Wickrama.
Since the end of Sri Lanka's three-decade-long conflict, the government has invested over $6 billion in infrastructure development.
SHERATON Group of USA is to invest in a luxury hotel and mixed development project in Colombo.
The government has approved the US dollar 300 million FDI and a land extent of 5 acre in the close proximity of Military headquarters, Colombo on a 99 year long lease for the project, the government information department said today.
