Patna: The Bihar Cabinet has approved an extension of the Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Package (BIIPP) 2025, allowing investors to continue availing themselves of incentives under the state’s flagship industrial promotion scheme until December 31, 2026, or until a new industrial investment policy comes into effect, whichever is earlier.
The decision, proposed by the Industries Department, is intended to maintain policy continuity and support industrial investment while the state prepares to roll out its next industrial policy.
Incentives To Continue Until New Policy
The BIIPP 2025 was originally scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.
With the Cabinet’s approval, the package will remain operational until the end of December or until the Industrial Investment Promotion Policy, 2026 is notified, preventing a policy gap that could affect investment decisions.
Officials said the extension would allow both existing and prospective investors to continue accessing incentives under the current framework while ensuring uninterrupted industrial development across the state.
Government Seeks To Sustain Investment
According to the Industries Department, the move is aimed at maintaining investor confidence amid growing interest in Bihar’s manufacturing sector.
The department said extending the package would help facilitate ongoing industrial projects and encourage fresh investment by providing businesses with a stable and predictable policy environment.
Minister Highlights Employment Potential
Industries Minister Shreyasi Singh said the extension reflects the government’s commitment to creating a reliable investment climate.
“The decision to extend the validity of the Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Package (BIIPP) 2025 is an important step towards providing investors with a stable and reliable policy environment. It will help attract fresh investments, accelerate industrial expansion, and create new employment opportunities across the state,” she said.
Department Cites Investor Response
Kundan Kumar, Secretary of the Industries Department, said the extension was approved in response to sustained investor interest in Bihar.
“The validity of the package has been extended in view of the positive response and growing interest from investors. The Industries Department remains committed to providing timely, transparent and investor-friendly services to facilitate industrial investment in Bihar,” he said.
The state government expects the extension to provide continuity in industrial promotion measures until the new investment policy is introduced later this year.
