West Bengal Commerce and Industry Minister Shashi Panja urged more manufacturing investment, particularly cement, into the state. The industry has reacted favourably, with at least two corporations expressing a desire to invest in the state in the future years. The government of West Bengal is attempting to develop the Deocha Pachami coal block in Birbhum district. Purvanchal Cement of Assam and Mangalam Cement of the BK Birla group have said that they have long-term intentions to establish grinding mills in the state to accommodate rising demand.
