Bihar Records More Than Rs 2000 Crore Investment in Food Processing Units

Bihar has received investments worth more than Rs 2000 crore in the food processing industry, with more than 10,000 units running under a special scheme. It was set up after COVID to boost the sector under the able guidance of the Prime Minister. The Bihar government is finalizing a new policy to set up food processing units in all regions, providing incentives and subsidies for investors to come on board. The government's efforts to provide a propitious environment for industries were appreciated by Bihar Industry Minister Nitish Mishra, as some food processing units are already operational in Katihar with others in the pipeline. The development reflects the increased contribution of Bihar to India's food processing industry.
