Ontario’s trade mission to India moved from Mumbai to Hyderabad last week, as the Premier and the delegation met with Indian business leaders who are keen to see their economy grow green.
In Mumbai, Ontario green tech firms signed more than $250 million in agreements with Indian partners during the fifth day of Ontario’s Clean Technology Mission to India. Premier McGuinty led a signing ceremony between Indian companies and Ontario’s clean technology companies.
Together they announced the following:
* RV Anderson of Toronto, Mott MacDonald Limited and PHE Consultants have been working together since 2007 on the design and implementation of the Mumbai Sewage Priority Works Projects, which includes improvements to the City of Mumbai’s waste water system. The project was initially secured during Ontario’s 2007 Trade Mission to India and has now expanded significantly.
