Department of Industrial Promotion and Policy (DIPP) is ready to support the West Bengal government in upgrading its industrial and leather parks.
"It may even consider a package for this," DIPP Secretary Ramesh Abhishek was quoted in a CII release today.
"In his view, there is no reason why West Bengal will not become one of the principal hubs of industrial growth in the country," the release said.
Once the Amritsar-Kolkata Dedicated Freight Corridor becomes operational, most probably by March 2019, there would be a sea change in the state's industrial climate, Abhishek remarked.
"Bengal, where you get the best of talents and wherewithals, has in the past pioneered and spearheaded many historic movements," he said.
"DIPP is there for help. We know entrepreneurship needs a helping hand, and we are ready to help you in things like setting up incubation centres, world-class training, patent facilitation etc," Abhishek said in the statement.
