Ratan Tata conferred with Maharashtra govt.’s ‘Udyog Ratna’ award

Eminent industrialist Ratan Tata was on Saturday conferred with the first ever ‘Udyog Ratna’ award instituted by the Maharashtra government.

The award was presented to the 85-year-old chairman emeritus of Tata Sons by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Cheif Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar at the industrialist’s home in Colaba in south Mumbai.

The honour comprised a shawl, a citation and a memento from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC).

Mr. Shinde said honouring Mr. Tata with the ‘Udyog Ratna’ had enhanced the prestige of the award.

“The contribution of the Tata group in all sectors, from salt to vehicles to airlines, is immense. Tata means trust and people have immense faith in the Tata Group. I thank him for accepting this award,” he said.
