The Videocon group will go ahead with its steel and power projects in West Bengal despite the agitation at Tata Motors' Singur project site, its chairman said on Monday.

"We have already acquired 400 acres of land for our project," V.N. Dhoot told reporters after meeting state chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

Tata Motors has faced violent protests and political opposition in West Bengal over acquisition of farmland for the plant that is billed to produce the world's cheapest car.

The carmaker has also threatened to end the project in Singur, an hour's drive from Kolkata, if the protests, that have stopped work in the plant, continue.

Videocon had proposed to build a 3-million-tonne steel and 1,200 megawatt power project in West Bengal at a cost of 150 billion rupees.

"We have already been assured coal linkage in Bengal," Dhoot said.

It plans to procure iron ore from mineral-rich eastern India, he said.

Videocon plans to produce value-added steel products to cater to the auto and ship-building industry.
