BJP asks Suvendu to set up chemical park under new central scheme in Bengal

West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya urged chief minister Suvendu Adhikari to bid for a ₹1,500 crore grant under the BHAVYA Rasayan Scheme to set up a chemical park in West Bengal.

The BHAVYA Rasayan Scheme, approved by the Union Cabinet on July 24, 2026, is a ₹3,030 crore central initiative to establish three dedicated chemical parks across India.

The scheme provides a central grant of up to ₹1,000 crore per park, with a minimum state contribution of ₹500 crore and at least 2,000 acres of contiguous, encumbrance-free land required.

Bhattacharya suggested potential sites including Singur, Haldia, Raghunathpur, and Durgapur, urging the state government to move quickly as only three parks will be sanctioned nationally.
