20 projects won Bihar PCC approval, with BIADA allocating nearly 30 acres for units expected to generate about ₹350 crore in investment and around 2,300 jobs.
The approvals span food processing, software, PEB fabrication, furniture, PVC and uPVC pipes, compressed biogas, healthcare and general manufacturing, widening the state’s industrial mix.
Kumarbagh, Begusarai, Hajipur, Patliputra, Bariyarpur and Sasaram are among the industrial areas slated to host the new units, including proposals from Bharat GPS Bioenergy, Crispano Foods and Rayush Healthcare.
Bihar officials said the clearances are part of a broader push to build an investor-friendly manufacturing hub through faster land allotment, better infrastructure, improved connectivity and simplified procedures.
