Скачать или смотреть Union Budget: Bihar garment and bag units draw migrant workers home, firms seek tax and power relief

Garment and bag manufacturing units in Bihar are witnessing a revival, with factories in Muzaffarpur and nearby regions drawing migrant workers back home. Entrepreneurs credit the Bihar government’s recent push for manufacturing, faster clearances and lower compliance burden for helping businesses grow over the last few years.

However, challenges remain. Factory owners point to high GST on bags, expensive electricity tariffs, lack of worker housing and dependence on other states for raw materials. With the Union Budget around the corner, manufacturers are urging the Centre to offer targeted tax relief and power subsidies to sustain growth.

Industry players say focused policy support could attract fresh investments, create local jobs and reduce large-scale labour migration that Bihar has struggled with for decades.
