Indian Masterminds Stories

Patna: Bihar is witnessing a major shift in its industrial landscape as 75% of the proposals signed during the Bihar Business Connect 2024 event are now moving towards implementation. Held in Patna on 19–20 December 2024, the summit marked a turning point for the state, attracting 423 investment proposals worth ₹1.80 lakh crore. Of these, proposals worth ₹82,584 crore—approximately 45% of the total investment value—are already in various stages of execution.

Ground-Level Execution Underway for 317 MoUs

Out of the 423 signed MoUs, 317 projects have now entered the implementation phase, categorized as “grounded” by the Department of Industries. These include initiatives where investors have secured land through BIADA or are already in the execution stage. About 53 of these projects—worth ₹11,016 crore—have successfully obtained land from government or private sources.

In addition, 167 projects worth ₹6,794 crore have received departmental approvals or are in the final stages of clearance.

Key Sectors Attracting Investment

The most active sectors under implementation include:

  • Food Processing: 49 projects | ₹12,544 crore
  • Health: 30 projects | ₹1,328 crore
  • Energy: 3 projects | ₹37,950 crore
  • Tourism: 11 projects | ₹1,647 crore
  • Textiles: 16 projects | ₹730 crore
  • Logistics: 7 projects | ₹1,427 crore
  • Real Estate: 4 projects | ₹2,920 crore
  • IT: 12 projects | ₹202 crore
  • Plastics: 5 projects | ₹665 crore

This spread shows a diversified interest in Bihar’s economy, from manufacturing and infrastructure to services and renewable energy.

Clear Division: Grounded vs Non-Grounded Projects

The Department of Industries has categorized all projects into grounded (active implementation) and non-grounded (pending approvals or land identification). Non-grounded projects are in various stages of DPR finalization, land allocation, or internal company clearance. A few MoUs have been withdrawn due to internal decisions by companies.

Government’s Active Role in Monitoring and Support

To accelerate progress, the department is conducting constant monitoring and direct engagement with investors. The state government has committed to resolving investor challenges, facilitating land access, and ensuring seamless administrative support.

Industry Minister Nitish Mishra said, “This is a first in Bihar’s history—signing 423 MoUs in a single event. We’re not stopping at signing. The department is following through to ensure projects take off on the ground. It’s a new chapter for Bihar’s industrialization.”

Transformation is Gaining Ground

With 75% of investment proposals now in motion and tangible progress across priority sectors, Bihar’s industrial transformation is gaining ground. The government’s proactive engagement, land facilitation through BIADA, and policy reforms are beginning to yield results, setting the state on course for inclusive economic growth and large-scale job creation.
