The official said the momentum reflects growing confidence among investors, noting that RIICO has also opened 20 new industrial areas for plot allocation during the period. He added that investors have signed memoranda of understanding worth approximately Rs 35 trillion with the state, of which agreements valued at more than Rs 8 trillion have already been implemented.

According to the official, the state government and RIICO have introduced new policies and simplified regulations to attract higher investment into industrial areas, generate employment and make it easier for entrepreneurs to establish and operate businesses.
