Amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Britannia Industries Limited's Kolkata plant, Amit Mitra, the special advisor to the Chief Minister of West Bengal on finance, conveyed a strong message of the company’s unwavering commitment to the state.

Mitra's statement came shortly after the FMCG major announced that all permanent workers at its historic Taratala factory in Kolkata had opted for a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), fueling rumors about a potential shutdown.
