Mr.Muthuraman was speaking at a function after inauguration of the TCS development centre and Ginger, described as a 'low cost, high value' hotel here this evening. The Tata group chairman, Mr. Ratan Tata, was also present at the function.

The chief minister, Mr. Naveen Patnaik, who inaugurated the two new facilities, said that he was sure about Tata Steel's new steel project coming up at Kalinga Nagar.
