West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced on Saturday the introduction of a single-window clearance mechanism for investment proposals worth ₹100 crore and above. According to reports from Business Standard, Adhikari made this announcement while laying the foundation stone for a ₹600-crore manufacturing facility of Lux Industries at Dankuni in Hooghly district. The CM emphasized that land availability would not be a constraint for industries in the state, as reported by Business Standard.
Adhikari claimed that West Bengal was poised to regain its position as a leading investment destination, stating the state was entering a new phase of industrial growth. As reported by Business Standard, he said West Bengal will once again become India's top destination for investment, emphasizing that a business-friendly environment is created only when law and order is maintained. The CM also alleged that the state's debt had increased from around ₹2 lakh crore during the Left Front regime to nearly ₹8 lakh crore under the previous Trinamool Congress government.
Stating that around one crore workers from West Bengal were employed outside the state, Adhikari said the government aimed to create large-scale employment opportunities through industrialisation. According to Business Standard, he said attracting investments was crucial to augmenting the state's own revenue. The CM expressed confidence that people would soon witness the benefits of a 'double-engine' government through improvements in law and order, employment, education and healthcare.
