M B Patil Seeks Centre’s Support For Karnataka’s Industrial Growth

Karnataka’s Minister for Large and Medium Industries M B Patil has urged the central government to support the state in strengthening freight corridors and logistic infrastructure. He was speaking at a round table on ‘Focussing on the Steel Sector in the State of Karnataka’ during the 6th edition of India Steel-25, an International Conference-cum-Exhibition organised by the Ministry of Steel.

Patil highlighted Karnataka’s contribution of 15 per cent to India’s steel production and the efforts by the state government to promote cluster-based development, integrated industrial corridors, and logistics infrastructure.

Regions like Ballari, Chitradurga, and Sandur, rich in iron ore, have attracted companies such as JSW Steel, Kalyani Steels, Kirloskar Ferrous, and the Baldota Group. The minister noted that projects like the Hubballi-Ankola railway line and upgrades to National Highways will enhance connectivity. The multi-modal logistics park in Bengaluru will also support seamless goods movement.

Patil emphasised the importance of the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC) and Bengaluru-Mumbai Economic Corridor (BMEC) in linking key hubs to major ports and boosting industrial connectivity across southern and western India.
