West Bengal Plans New Industrial Policy and Identifies Land for Bhavya Industrial Parks
West Bengal's new BJP government is drafting an industrial policy focusing on land acquisition, a sensitive issue due to past agitations in Singur and Nandigram. The state plans to rely on direct land purchase and introduce a single-window clearance for large investments. Two government-owned land parcels in Nadia and Paschim Burdwan have been identified for industrial parks under the Centre's Bhavya scheme, with proposals expected by August. Officials, including Minister Tapas Roy, emphasize transparency and ongoing talks with major investors like the Tata Group.
