Representatives of the Jharkhand Chamber, in turn, presented the state’s industrial landscape, pointing to policy-level support, subsidies, and infrastructure initiatives undertaken by the Jharkhand government to promote industrial growth. The Chamber also invited the BIADA delegation to encourage investors to explore opportunities in Jharkhand.

Chamber Vice President Praveen Lohia said Jharkhand’s industry-friendly policies, simplified procedures, and improving investment climate make the state increasingly attractive for businesses. He reiterated the Chamber’s commitment to supporting industrialists and investors to facilitate greater investment inflows.

Joint Secretary Rohit Poddar noted that Bihar and Jharkhand are geographically and economically complementary. He said enhanced industrial cooperation and exchange of experiences between the two states could open up better opportunities for investors and accelerate regional industrial development.

The meeting concluded on a positive note, with both sides agreeing to further strengthen coordination on investment promotion, industrial collaboration, and inter-state engagement.
