Around 86 industries -- including 28 French and Indo-French companies -- took part in the summit jointly organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and Pondicherry Industrial Promotion Development and Investment Corporation (PIPDIC).  

Several firms are interested in opening their industry in Puducherry, and the government will take necessary action to provide permissions for this, he added.
