Kolkata. Jan. 27 , A 17-MEMBER Japanese delegation led by the Japan-India Business Cooperation Committee (JIBCC) on Friday expressed their interest in exploring trading and other investment opportunities in West Bengal.

Later in an interactive session with the State Commerce and Industry Minister, Mr Nirupam Sen, the industry delegates said the population of Japanese companies operating in India had gone up to 330 in the last few years. Though West Bengal was successful in attracting the single largest foreign direct investment in the country though MCC PTA at Haldia, there has not been any significant rise in the number of Japanese companies investing in the State. Addressing the meeting, Mr Sen urged Japan to lend support in revamping and modernising power distribution sector in the State.
