SaralnamaThe West Bengal government passed a law on to cancel all industry incentives given since 1993. At least six major companies have challenged this law in the Calcutta High Court. They call it unconstitutional. The court will hear their appeals. Former IT minister Debesh Das says this move will hurt investment in the state. He claims Bengal's industrial growth has slowed under the current government. Das argues that incentives are needed to attract new industries. Without them, companies may choose other states. The new law could especially impact medium-scale industries. To understand the full impact, readers can check data from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
