The industrialists, however, will not be closing their units in Punjab, clarified Narinder Chugh, a Ludhiana-based industrialist keen to expand in Bihar.

The 25 players will invest over ₹2,000 crore in the textile cluster in Dehri on Sone in Bihar and nearly 25,000 will be employed in these units, Indian media reports quoted Chugh as saying.

The Punjab industrialists have also asked the Bihar government to reduce power tariff from ₹5 per unit to ₹4 per unit. (DS)
