PATNA: Encouraged by growing interest among entrepreneurs to invest in Bihar, the state industries department is looking to create land banks for faster execution of credible investment plans of several industrial houses, officials said.

Chief minister Nitish Kumar during his "Pragati Yatra" in Sitamarhi last week had announced setting up an industrial area on 500 acre land in the district. The CM was in Sitamarhi to inaugurate the Riga Sugar Mill, which was brought in operation after five-year shut down.

Industries secretary Bandana Preyashi also conducted site inspections in Mahua, Rajapakar and Jandaha blocks of Vaishali on December 27 to identify around 1,200-acre plots to acquire them for development of industrial areas.
