Government of West Bengal will unveil a new defence manufacturing policy spearheaded by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS) 2025.

The initiative, primarily focused on the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, aims to create a pioneering defence value chain that will foster the production of defence equipment. Government of India has expressed support for Bengal’s defence manufacturing strategy project.

India currently has two Defence Corridors—one in Tamil Nadu and another in Uttar Pradesh. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has proposed the need for an Eastern Defence Corridor to strengthen the region’s defence infrastructure.

West Bengal is the best location for the corridor, as the state already has equipment manufacturing facilities in Life Rivel Factory, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE), and various power equipment sectors. Kolkata is also the headquarters of the Indian Army Eastern Command.

Reliance is expected to be one of the primary investors, while JSW Steel may contribute to the development of the industrial corridor.
