Chhattisgarh Receives ₹6,826 Crore Investment Proposals, 3,000 Jobs Anticipated

Chhattisgarh has drawn proposals worth ₹6,826 crore from companies planning new projects or capacity expansion in the state, as per the news reports. Industrial proposals account for ₹6,321.25 crore, while tourism-related plans add up to ₹505 crore. According to the state government, these investments are projected to generate over 3,000 jobs once the projects move into execution. 

Steel and Energy Clusters Highlighted 

A large portion of the proposals comes from steel and energy firms seeking to expand operations or set up new units. Chhattisgarh already hosts a sizeable steel network, anchored by the Bhilai Steel Plant and NMDC’s Nagarnar facility, alongside several MSME steel units. Some companies also submitted plans for waste-to-energy projects, indicating growing interest in alternative power production. 

Tourism Proposals Linked to Bastar 

Tourism investments worth ₹505 crore are largely directed towards the Bastar region and adjoining districts. The government stated that road connectivity, security infrastructure and digital access have improved in recent years. With a decline in incidents, firms have proposed building hotels and tourism facilities to tap into rising visitor movement in tribal and ecological destinations. 

Single-Window System 

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai addressed company representatives at the ‘Investor Connect’ event and outlined the current clearance process. Industrial permissions are being issued through a single-window system intended to reduce delays and minimise multiple application stages. During the event, firms were handed proposal documents mapping available land and sector-specific opportunities. 

Mineral Resources Positioned as a Draw for Investors 

Chhattisgarh’s mineral base including coal, iron ore, bauxite, tin and lithium as a key factor behind increasing industrial interest. The state government also referred to earlier commitments totalling more than ₹3.5 lakh crore announced during a recent energy summit. Work has started on several of those projects, according to the government.
