What's behind this
The West Bengal government has unveiled a new industrial and investment policy that emphasizes job‑linked growth and offers incentives for plant and machinery. The six‑month‑old Suvendu Adhikari administration announced the shift after the previous Trinamool Congress government had scrapped industrial incentive schemes and subsidies. The composite policy targets large‑scale, strategic and mega industrial projects while prioritising employment generation. Industry leaders have praised the framework; Mehul Mohanka, chairman of the CII Eastern Region, described it as progressive, forward‑looking and a strong signal to investors, reinforcing the state’s commitment to industrial growth and advanced manufacturing.
