Bihar, once considered less industry-friendly, is witnessing a surge in major investments, with notable contributions from Adani Group, Coca-Cola, and other industry leaders. The state's industries and tourism minister, Nitish Mishra, is playing a pivotal role in reshaping the state's industrial landscape, positioning it as a gateway to eastern India for investors.
Mishra emphasized that the long-standing perception of Bihar as an underdeveloped industrial hub is gradually changing. Recent investments, including Adani Group's Rs 8,700 crore commitment and Coca-Cola鈥檚 expansion plans, signal Bihar鈥檚 growing appeal to investors.
The state offers a range of fiscal incentives, including tax waivers, interest subvention, and transportation subsidies. Additionally, Bihar鈥檚 resource-rich economy, combined with cheap labor, strategic location, and improving infrastructure, makes it an attractive destination for industries such as agro-processing, leather, and textiles.
Mishra highlighted that Bihar's strategic location near major markets in eastern and northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, coupled with an abundant supply of raw materials, positions it well for industrial growth.
With a land bank of 3,000 acres and a focus on sectors like food processing, IT, textiles, and renewable energy, Bihar is poised to attract further investments in its second Bihar Business Connect investor summit in December 2024.
