Bihar gets over 3,800 proposals for setting up industries, says Chief Secretary Meena
Live MintPatna, Dec 14 Bihar has received more than 3,800 proposals for setting up factories in the state since it floated a progressive industrial investment promotion policy in 2016, proving to be a pivot for its rapid development, its Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena said. Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Policy, 2016, offers a slew of incentives to investors that range from interest subvention to reimbursement of State GST, stamp duty waiver, export subsidy and concessions for transportation, power, and land fees. "So, various sectors are now showing interest and Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority, which is the state apex body for providing land to the industrialists, has over 3,000 acres of surplus land," he said. Bihar Business Connect - the annual investor meet of the state - drew "tremendous success by signing MoUs of more than ₹50,000 crore" of investment proposals in its maiden show in 2023, he noted.
