Five significant factories, including ethanol and cement plants, are set to open in various districts of Bihar. The government is in talks with investors from all over the country, and many of them are interested in establishing businesses in the state.

One of the factories preparing for opening is a 5 lakh litre ethanol plant in Ara, which would be the country's largest. In addition, two more ethanol plants are expected to open in the Gopalganj district. Apart from that, a cement mill in Tajpur is about to start commercial production.
