West Bengal Industries Minister Tapas Roy on Friday said the state's proposed industrial incentive scheme will be linked to employment generation rather than investment, with a new industrial policy expected to be unveiled later this month. Addressing the business conclave 'Uttaran 2026: Bangla, Building the Next Growth', Roy said industries would be eligible for incentives based on the number of jobs they create. "We are thinking of linking incentives to employment generation rather than investment," he said. The minister said the new industrial policy is expected to be announced on August 15. The state government has earmarked Rs 5,000 crore in the 2026-27 budget to revive industrial incentives after the earlier incentive scheme was discontinued by the TMC government. The new industrial policy is expected to lay down the framework for the incentive programme and include measures to improve ease of doing business through a strengthened single-window clearance system, GIS-enabled

China accounts for around 16 per cent of India's total imports, but its dominance is significantly higher in industrial goods, supplying as much as 30.8 per cent of the country's requirements, think tank GTRI said on Tuesday. The country's imports increased to USD 774.98 billion in 2025-26. Out of this, USD 131.63 billion was from China. Dependence on a single supplier for critical inputs leaves sectors like pharmaceuticals, electronics and clean energy exposed to disruptions, whether geopolitical or commercial, it said. The GTRI analysis said that about 66 per cent of India's imports from China, valued at USD 82.6 billion, are clustered in electronics, machinery, computers, and organic chemicals. China accounts for 43 per cent of India's electronics imports, 40 per cent of machinery and computer imports, and 44 per cent of organic chemicals.
