Bokaro admin plans to set up an industrial cluster on 1,000 acres

Bokaro: Bokaro will soon have an industrial cluster on 1,000 acres as part of the Union government’s Amritsar-Kolkata industrial corridor. The cluster will come up on land owned by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL).
Sources in the district administration on Wednesday told the TOI that the Jharkhand government has recently constituted a six-member committee to prepare a master plan for the project. “The state industries department will soon hold a meeting with the district’s administrative officials and decide on the nature of the industrial area,” an official here said. SAIL subsidiary Bokaro Steel Limited (BSL) will hand over 1,000 acres to the industries department for developing the cluster. BSL’s chief of communications Manikant Dhan did not respond when contacted.
The Amritsar – Kolkata industrial corridor development project will encompass states like Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh besides Jharkhand.
