The Bihar government has announced plans to establish 25 new sugar mills under its Sugarcane Investment Policy 2026, aiming to boost local sugar production and create jobs.
The state government has unveiled a new initiative to set up 25 sugar mills across Bihar under the Sugarcane Investment Policy 2026. The move is part of a broader effort to enhance the state's agricultural output and provide employment in rural areas.
Officials say the policy offers incentives such as land allocation, financial assistance and streamlined approvals to attract private investors. The new mills are expected to process locally grown sugarcane, reducing transportation costs and boosting the local economy.
The announcement comes as Bihar seeks to diversify its industrial base and reduce dependence on traditional sectors. The government has not yet disclosed the exact locations of the proposed mills, but it anticipates that the project will be completed within the next few years.
Industry experts note that the initiative could significantly increase the state's sugar production capacity and improve the livelihoods of farmers.
The policy is also expected to encourage technology adoption in sugar processing and create ancillary industries around the mills.
