Reliance and Adani investments to boost West Bengal economy

West Bengal Chief Minister Shuvendu Adhikari announced that Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, is planning major investments in the state, following similar commitments from the Adani Group. He stated the company is exploring opportunities in four to five sectors. Adhikari said a high-level Reliance delegation will visit West Bengal soon to examine potential projects, which include an international cable station in Digha, a semiconductor hub, a data center in New Town, and a food park in North Bengal. He met with Mukesh and Anant Ambani in Mumbai recently. The Adani Group has previously announced plans to build a 4,000-bed hospital and medical college in Kolkata, with a target of investing around ₹1 lakh crore in the state over the next decade. Adhikari also announced a ₹1,200 crore allocation for the Ghatal Master Plan to address flooding.
