While congratulating the company for choosing Chakan for its plant, Chavan said, "It was my tenure as industries minister that the foundation for auto industries was laid in Pune. Central and state government are pulling out all stops to facilitate the industries here. As a part of this attempt, state government has made a blue print for providing trained manpower to industries. The government is trying to provide employment local youths.
