West Bengal Government Advances New Industrial Policy Addressing Land and Investment
West Bengal's new BJP government, led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, is preparing a new industrial policy focusing on land acquisition, incentives, and ease of doing business. Officials held meetings with industrialists to address challenges from past agitations and land availability issues. The government plans to rely on direct land purchase, unlock land from idle public sector units, and revise laws like the Urban Land Ceiling Act. Proposals for industrial parks under the Centre's Bhavya scheme are underway, with discussions ongoing with major companies including the Tata Group.
