West Bengal will introduce a real-time tracking system for investment proposals to ensure swift approvals. The state has received ₹4.4 lakh crore in investment proposals and is focusing on industrial expansion, economic corridors, and land allocation to attract businesses and foster economic growth.

The West Bengal government is set to introduce a real-time tracking system for investment proposals to streamline approvals and remove procedural delays. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has directed the state’s chief secretary to implement this system to ensure time-bound clearances and seamless coordination among departments.
The move follows the success of the 8th Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS), where the state received investment proposals worth ₹4.4 lakh crore. Over the past seven summits, West Bengal has secured proposals amounting to ₹19 lakh crore, with projects worth ₹13 lakh crore already completed. To facilitate smooth execution, the government recently formed the State-Level Investment Synergy Committee (SLISC), which will meet fortnightly to review progress.
The Chief Minister has also instructed departments to assess vacant land under their jurisdiction for potential industrial use. A detailed report on such land, including encroached areas, has been requested. Additionally, the state is developing six economic corridors and has earmarked around 3,000 acres for industrial expansion.

The introduction of a real-time tracking system is expected to boost investor confidence, enhance transparency, and accelerate economic development in the state.
