Bihar Government Signs ₹51,600 Crore MoUs with 10 Industrial Groups for Steel, Textile, Nuclear and Food Processing Projects
The Bihar government signed Memorandums of Understanding worth around ₹51,600 crore with several leading industrial groups from across the country on August 6, 2026. The agreements were signed in Patna in the presence of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
Choudhary said the state government is committed to converting these investment proposals into on-ground projects at the earliest. He identified steel and metal manufacturing as a priority area, stating that Bihar aims to become a major steel hub. Equal emphasis is being placed on textiles, nuclear energy, food processing and pharmaceuticals.
According to the government statement, agreements were signed with private companies across these sectors, including a proposal for investment in the nuclear energy sector and several commitments in the textile and allied industries. Specific company names were not disclosed in the source article.
Choudhary said the textile sector is labour-intensive and holds potential for large-scale employment generation in the state. He added that investments in clean and nuclear energy would support Bihar's future power requirements, while growth in food processing would improve market access for farmers and strengthen the rural economy.
The Chief Minister also reviewed preparations for Bihar Business Connect-2026, an investor platform intended to connect domestic and international investors with industrial opportunities in the state.
