Business To Business, Kolkata, 30th July, 2026: West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya has urged Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari to make a strong bid for establishing a dedicated chemical park in the state under the Centre's newly approved BHAVYA Rasayan scheme.
In a letter dated July 28, the Rajya Sabha MP noted that the Union Cabinet had approved the Rs 3,030-crore scheme on July 24 to establish three dedicated chemical parks across the country through a competitive challenge-based process.
Bhattacharya suggested several potential locations for the proposed park, including Singur, Haldia, Raghunathpur and Durgapur.
He also recommended that the state government constitute an inter-departmental task force, led by the Department of Industry, Commerce and Enterprises and the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC), to prepare the necessary land dossier and facilitate the state's bid.
According to Bhattacharya, securing one of the proposed chemical parks would boost industrial investment, generate employment and strengthen West Bengal's manufacturing ecosystem.
