The approval followed the company meeting required conditions, including the provision of documentation and financial reports. The textile and leather sectors are a high priority for the state.
Chaudhary emphasized the importance of attracting industrial investment and the state government’s commitment to fostering industry and creating jobs. The Nitish Kumar-led government is backing these efforts, which include the recently approved New Industrial Policy 2025. This investment in a new garment unit is expected to create jobs and boost industrial development across Bihar.
