Industry & Investment
At the Rising Bihar Investor Summit 2026 in Patna, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said the government will buy 25% of eligible products from industries set up in Bihar, provided they meet quality standards, and is revising its procurement policy accordingly.
He said electricity availability has grown from about 500 MW in 2005 to over 10,000 MW, with a target of 20,000 MW in five years. A 'silt policy' will let river-dredged sand be used in road building, agricultural feeders will be solarised, and a ropeway across the Ganga to Harihar Nath temple in Sonepur is planned.
