Patna: The Bihar government has achieved unprecedented success during Bihar Business Connect 2024, with a record-breaking investment proposal of over ₹1.8 lakh crore. A significant number of industrialists have expressed interest in establishing industries and investing in the state. Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena revealed that a comprehensive roadmap has been prepared to provide full support to these industrialists.
Describing Bihar Business Connect 2024 as a transformative opportunity for the state, Chief Secretary Meena highlighted the government’s commitment to translating the signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) into actionable projects. With assembly elections approaching, the government is keen to ensure that the investment proposals materialise swiftly. Efforts will be directed towards shaping these proposals into tangible developments, with an emphasis on accelerating Bihar’s path towards industrialisation.
Currently, Bihar houses 423 industrial units. To streamline the implementation process, the government has decided to appoint a nodal officer for every 5 to 10 MoUs. These officers will assist industrialists in acquiring land and accessing necessary facilities. All industries have been categorised into 11 sectors, and the respective nodal officers will oversee sector-specific support.
The government has committed to bringing the proposals to fruition within a year. The focus remains on ensuring Bihar’s industrial growth and showcasing its potential as a thriving investment destination.
