Explanation

The Salim Group (an Indonesian conglomerate) was granted permission to set up a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Nandigram in West Bengal. This decision sparked massive protests in 2007 as it involved land acquisition from farmers. Tata, Birla, and Wipro were major Indian industrial groups but were not the ones associated with the controversial Nandigram SEZ project.
