The West Bengal government announced plans to retrieve 4,000 acres of land currently held by JSW Steel at Salboni, aiming to develop an industrial park on the reclaimed area.
The state government of West Bengal has outlined a proposal to recover approximately 4,000 acres of land that is presently under the control of JSW Steel at its Salboni plant. The reclaimed tract is slated to be converted into an industrial park intended to boost manufacturing and ancillary activities in the region.
Officials indicated that the move is part of a broader strategy to attract investment and create employment opportunities by providing a dedicated industrial hub. The land, originally allotted to JSW for its steel operations, is being re-evaluated to align with the state's development priorities.
The proposal is expected to undergo further administrative review before any formal acquisition or transfer of the site takes place. Stakeholders, including local authorities and potential investors, will be consulted to shape the park’s layout and sector focus.
