The reply was tabled during the ongoing Budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha today. Chautala, in his reply, said while Maruti Suzuki India Limited had proposed an investment of Rs 18,000 crores in Sonepat, which was expected to generate 10,000 jobs. “This is also the biggest project that has come in,” he added.
