A new era of transformation is underway in Bihar as the state strengthens its position as a key destination for investments. Addressing the State session at the 6th International Energy Conference & Exhibition, Jitendra Srivastava, IAS, REC Ltd., highlighted Bihar’s rich history and its promising future as a growing economic hub.
Focusing on the power sector, Srivastava noted that in 2013, Bihar had only 700 MW of electricity available for 6–7 hours daily. Today, the state enjoys 8,000 MW of power, providing 22 hours of supply with an average household consumption of 300 units. This significant progress underscores Bihar’s rapid infrastructural and industrial development, making it increasingly attractive for investors and businesses.
