Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Thursday said the state has set a target to attract industrial investments worth Rs 5 lakh crore by November 20, as part of a broader development roadmap aimed at accelerating growth and infrastructure expansion.

He made the announcement during a media interaction held at a private hotel in Patna, marking 12 years of the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Chief Minister presented an overview of ongoing reforms and future plans for the state.

Industrial Investment Push and Policy Timeline

Choudhary said the state is witnessing increasing industrial interest, including upcoming data centre projects and manufacturing investments.

He added that all industrial proposals will be processed within 30 days to improve ease of doing business and strengthen investor confidence.

Officials said the target is part of Bihar’s wider strategy to position itself as a competitive industrial destination in eastern India.

Defence Corridor in Rajgir and Munger

The Chief Minister announced plans to develop a defence corridor spanning Rajgir and Munger, aimed at strengthening defence manufacturing capacity in the state.

He said the initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities and integrate Bihar into national defence production networks.

Expansion of Air Connectivity

Choudhary said the government is working on a plan to expand air connectivity across all districts, including development of airports, helipads and airstrips based on regional requirements.

He said a new airstrip has been approved between Rajgir and the Sasaram-Kaimur region as part of the initiative.

Infrastructure Development and Sectoral Growth

The Chief Minister highlighted progress in road construction and power supply, saying Bihar has recorded improvements in rural connectivity and basic infrastructure delivery.

He also referred to the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana, stating that solar energy expansion will help improve access to affordable electricity.

Welfare Delivery and Fiscal Position

Choudhary said Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and Jan Dhan Yojana have strengthened transparency in welfare delivery, ensuring direct transfer of government benefits to beneficiaries.

He stated that Bihar’s daily expenditure stands at around Rs 1,000 crore, while the treasury balance is over Rs 1,500 crore as of June 12. He added that salaries and pensions will continue to be released without interruption.

Governance and Project Monitoring

The Chief Minister said he will personally review all major projects worth over Rs 100 crore to identify delays and accelerate implementation.

He added that structured monitoring is being introduced to ensure timely completion of public infrastructure projects.

Political and Development Context

Referring to national developments under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Choudhary said Bihar is aligned with the broader goal of building a “Viksit Bharat”.

He said improved governance systems, infrastructure growth and industrial expansion will play a key role in the state’s long-term development strategy.
