Industrial-cluster implementation and investor entry

Gaya’s manufacturing cluster: connect investor entry with infrastructure already under execution

The 1,670-acre IMC Gaya combines an approved ₹1,339-crore infrastructure project with a new investor-facilitation milestone. The October MoUs concern prospective manufacturing investment; they are separate from the cluster budget and from trunk-infrastructure contracts already appointed.
