Chinese Industrial Park In West Bengal

The West Bengal government Monday signed an expression of interest (EoI) with Jiangsu Overseas Group Corporation of Nanjing province to set up a Chinese industrial park in the state. The Chinese corporation had sought 250 acres of land for setting up the park, which would house only companies from Nanjing province.

A three-member Chinese delegation had visited Haldia in East Midnapore district and Rajarhat near Kolkata. The corporation was in favour of the former location due to its proximity to a port. The industrial park might be converted subsequently into a special economic zone (SEZ).
