These investments, unveiled during the 'Industry Dialogue 2' event, span sectors like IT, semiconductors, healthcare, and green energy. This marks a significant shift from Chhattisgarh's traditional identity as a mineral-rich state to an industrial powerhouse.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai heralded the transformation, stating that areas like Bastar, once known for security concerns, are evolving into industrial, technological, and employment hubs, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's vision of a developed India. The state's Industrial Policy 2025 has facilitated fast-track land allotment and special incentives for diverse groups, making Chhattisgarh a prime investment destination.
The proposed Special Economic Zone near Raipur focuses on IT and pharmaceuticals, while significant infrastructure developments, such as a 200-acre medical city, will boost sectoral investment. With efforts to eradicate Naxalism and connect remote villages through initiatives like Niyad Nellanar Yojana, Chhattisgarh is poised for sustained growth, targeting a 7.5% growth rate and net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
