Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister, Samrat Chaudhary, announced the approval of financial incentives for M/s Gogreen Apparel Limited to establish a readymade garments unit in the Bela Industrial Area, Phase-2 of Muzaffarpur district. The unit, with a capacity of 55 lakh pieces per annum, will receive 2336.22 lakh rupees (23.36 million rupees) in private capital investment. Chaudhary stated that the company was required to fulfill certain conditions, including the submission of land-related documents, a project report, a bank appraisal report, and a bank loan sanction letter, before receiving the approval. The subsidy will be calculated based on the actual project expenditure at the time of disbursement. This unit falls under the textile and leather sector, a high-priority area for the state government.
Chaudhary emphasized that this is a significant step towards boosting industrial investment. He highlighted the NDA government’s efforts to promote industries, create employment opportunities, and strengthen the state’s economy under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. The government recently approved the New Industrial Policy 2025 and the financial incentive clearance for the readymade garments unit. He added that such investments would generate new employment opportunities in Bihar and give a new direction to the industrial development of the state.
The Deputy Chief Minister also addressed the Bihar Idea Festival held at Bapu Auditorium in Patna. He stated that Bihar is rapidly progressing towards industrial development. He mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman have provided industrial corridors for the development of Bihar. An industrial corridor is under construction in Gaya, spanning 1700 acres, with the Bihar government providing an additional 1300 acres of land. The Deputy CM requested Union Minister Piyush Goyal for at least four more industrial corridors, citing the needs of Bihar’s 14 crore population. Goyal responded by immediately acknowledging the request and announced the construction of four industrial corridors in different areas of Bihar. Goyal also praised the New Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Package-2025, calling it the simplest and most generous package in the country.
Chaudhary thanked Union Minister Goyal, stating that it is a historic time when, under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, they are moving forward to establish industries that will provide employment to not just thousands, but lakhs of people. He noted Bihar’s progress under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Nitish Kumar.
The Deputy Chief Minister highlighted the state’s improved infrastructure, including a network of world-class roads, allowing travel from Patna to any corner of the state within four to five hours. Bihar is also advancing in rail expansion, with 13 Vande Bharat trains in operation. Marine drives are being constructed along the Ganga River from Digha to Koilwar and Munger to Bhagalpur. Five major expressway projects have been approved.
Chaudhary also noted that 17 ethanol plants have been established in the state. Corn, wheat, and even rice husk are being processed to produce ethanol. Bihar has provided employment to approximately 40 lakh people in the last five years. The target for 2025-30 is to provide one crore government jobs and employment.
He added that Prime Minister Modi has given Bihar schemes worth 1.65 lakh crore rupees. On September 15th, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation for projects worth approximately 50,000 crore rupees in Purnia. Following the Darbhanga Airport, the Purnia Airport will be inaugurated on September 15th. This will be Bihar’s largest runway airport.
Chaudhary stated that Bihar is currently producing and consuming 9,000 megawatts of electricity. The state has created a conducive environment for industries with roads, electricity, and the New Industrial Policy 2025. He predicted that industrialists would come to Bihar without invitation in the next two years. He concluded by saying that Bihar’s progress is essential for the nation’s progress, emphasizing the importance of industries becoming Bihar’s identity, and that the prosperity of Bihar will lead to the prosperity of the nation.
