Bengaluru: A high-level delegation led by Karnataka Minister for Large, Medium Industries, and Infrastructure Development M.B. Patil has secured investment commitments and MoUs worth Rs 6,450 crore during a recently concluded two-week visit to Japan and South Korea, the state government said in a statement on Wednesday.
