The deepening of the investment-led partnership between the two countries has been catalyzed by the leadership of both countries. It supports their vision of building a future of shared prosperity for our peoples. With India’s private sector investing in Sri Lanka, I’m confident that the economic & commercial relationship between the two countries will continue to strengthen”.
Arnab Banerjee, MD & CEO, CEAT Limited , said: “ The integration of compact construction equipment business and the acquisition of the CAMSO brand is a pivotal step in advancing CEAT’s long-term vision of becoming a significant player in Off Highway mobility.
