This isn&#8217;t the typical investment announcement made by a state that&#8217;s known for sending people out. This is the biggest industrial commitment in Bihar on a single day and it will create an opportunity for a value chain for which no one has built yet.<\/p>\n<p>The first shot is on the target&#8217;s head.<\/p>\n<p>Six steel plants in an industrial state where there is virtually no infrastructure for industrial ancillary making means someone has to provide refractories, industrial gases, packaging, safety equipment\u2019s, food service and fabrication from day one during the plant construction. The initial suppliers to be in place at the ground breaking are the suppliers that are awarded the first contracts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy

However, Bihar is far behind the national average in MSME formalisation per capita per month as per the <a href=\"https:\/\/msme.gov.in\/annual-report\">Annual report of the Ministry of MSME<\/a>. From day one, every industrial plant being established requires construction labour, fabrication units, logistics companies, food service providers, and maintenance contractors. When up and running, these require raw material suppliers, component manufacturers, packaging units, and service providers. This is virtually nonexistent in the local area at this time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/business\/industry\/\">Financial Express reports that industrial estates in Bihar&#8217;s <\/a>towns of Hajipur, Patna and Muzaffarpur have plots available at \u20b9500-2,000 per sq m, compared with Maharashtra and Gujarat industrial plots, which cost \u20b95,000-15,000. BIPPP provides 30% capital subsidy, interest subvention up to \u20b940 crore and free land for qualified investments.<\/p>\n<p>Bihar now has logistics connectivity through the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC) and the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, which it lacked five years ago. The &#8216;infrastructure&#8217; exists. The funds have been received.
