The Karnataka government has cleared industrial investment proposals worth ₹6,826 crore, with 131 projects located outside Bengaluru.
The Karnataka government today announced the approval of industrial investment proposals amounting to ₹6,826 crore. The clearance covers 131 projects that are situated outside the capital city of Bengaluru.
The decision is part of the state’s ongoing effort to diversify industrial activity beyond the metropolitan hub. By approving projects in other districts, the government aims to spread economic benefits and employment opportunities across a wider region.
Industry experts note that the approved investments could generate thousands of jobs and stimulate ancillary sectors such as logistics, housing, and services. The move is also expected to attract further private investment into Karnataka’s industrial corridors.
The government will now move forward with the necessary land acquisition, infrastructure development, and regulatory clearances to enable the projects to commence. Officials emphasized that the approvals are a step toward achieving the state’s target of boosting industrial output and improving the business environment.
