Bengal-based Rashmi Group announced a fresh investment plan of โน35,000 crore in West Bengal across the steel, power and mining sectors. Over โน30,000 crore would be invested to expand its iron and steel manufacturing capacity by an additional 7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), while another โน5,000 crore would be spent on operationalising three coal mines acquired in Birbhum and Paschim Bardhaman districts.
In October 2025, Rashmi Group announced plans to set up a 2.8 million tonne integrated steel plant along with a 400 MW captive power project at an investment of 10,000 crore in the Purulia district, for which 938 acres have been allocated. The steel capacity expansion alone is expected to create nearly 35,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, while the coal mining projects may generate another 15,000 jobs.

Government of India launched guidelines for the โBHAVYA (Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna) Schemeโ, under which the UnionGov plans to develop 100 industrial parks across India. The scheme will have a financial outlay of โน33,660 crore and aims to create manufacturing and investment hubs through plug-and-play industrial parks in partnership with state governments.
Applications for 20 parks will be invited in the first two months, followed by another 30 parks in the subsequent two months, while the remaining 50 parks will be taken up in the next phase. UnionGov confirmed that states offering better facilities such as land, water and power are likely to attract investors, adding that West Bengal, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Haryana have shown interest in the scheme.
