Patna, July 16, 2025: Bihar is witnessing rapid strides toward industrialization, with large-scale development of industrial parks and hubs across the state, including Gaya, Munger, Madhu Bani, and other districts, aiming to transform the economic landscape and generate employment opportunities.
Gaya industrial park will spread in 1670 acres:
After Bihta in Patna district, Gaya is set to become Bihar’s largest industrial hub with the establishment of a state-of-the-art industrial park on 1,670 acres in the Dobhi area under the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor.
With an investment of Rs. 1,339 crore, this integrated manufacturing cluster is expected to create employment opportunities for lakhs of people, boosting all-around development in the state.
Land allocations within the Gaya industrial hub include 192.05 acres for food processing, 83.50 acres for furniture, 192.05 acres for readymade garments and leather, 233.80 acres for the technical industry cluster, 133.72 acres for building materials, 16.70 acres for handloom and handcrafts, 50.10 acres for logistics and 16.70 acres for general ready sheds.
This hub alone is projected to create 43,000 direct jobs, 57,000 direct and indirect jobs in the industrial sector and 9,000 jobs in commercial activities.
Industry Minister Nitish Mishra emphasized the department’s commitment to making more land available for enterprises in the coming years.
The state government also earmarked lands for industrial parks in other districts:
As part of these efforts, 50 acres in Sangrampur, Munger are being developed with infrastructure.
1243.45 acres of industrial parks are under construction in Vaishali (Jandaha, Raja Pakad, Mahua) and Sitamarhi (Nanapur, Sonvarsha). 712 acres are under development in Jhanjharpur in Madhubani district.
During CM Nitish Kumar’s Pragati Yatra, the development of industrial areas in districts with no prior industrial presence was announced.
Land is now being identified in Arwal, Jamui, Kaimur, Saran, Sheikhpura, Shivhar, and Banka.
The Industries Department has so far received 21,273 acres of land proposals from the Revenue and Land Reforms Department, including 18,059 acres of raiyati land and 3,162 acres of government land, with 457 acres already transferred for industrial development.
These initiatives position Bihar to strengthen its presence on the industrial map alongside its agricultural base, with the potential to generate large-scale employment and attract investments in manufacturing, food processing, logistics, and technical industries.
