Bengal to unveil new industrial policy on Aug 15, signals shift in land acquisition strategy

Business To Business, Kolkata, 18th July, 2026:   West Bengal Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta on Saturday announced that the state will unveil its new industrial policy on Independence Day, signalling the BJP government's push to revive manufacturing through a sharper investment strategy and a shift away from the previous Trinamool Congress government's hands-off approach to industrial land acquisition.
Addressing a capital markets conclave organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Eastern Region, Dasgupta underscored the need for a comprehensive land policy and stressed the importance of reutilising land owned by defunct or idle industrial units.
He also said the new policy would place significant emphasis on providing fiscal incentives to attract investments and promote industrial growth.
