In a significant move to drive industrial growth and job creation, the Department of Commerce & Industries, Government of Chhattisgarh, has extended an invitation to BEML Ltd to invest in the state by setting up a world-class mining equipment manufacturing facility. The proposed plant will focus on producing high-performance dump trucks, water sprinklers, and motor graders, catering to the increasing demand in the mining and infrastructure sectors.

The invitation was formally extended by the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Vishnu Deo Sai, to Shantanu Roy, Chairman & Managing Director of BEML, emphasizing the state’s commitment to fostering industrial development. At the Investor Connect event held in Bangalore, the Chief Minister presented the official ‘Invitation to Invest’ to BEML’s Functional Directors—Anil Jerath, Director - Finance, Sanjay Som, Director - Mining & Construction and Defence, and Debi Prasad Satpathy, Director - Human Resources, in the presence of key government ministers and senior officials.

Chhattisgarh has positioned itself as an attractive investment destination with its pro-business policies, abundant natural resources, and robust ease-of-doing-business framework. The state offers single-window clearances, zero-paper processing, and a conducive industrial ecosystem, ensuring seamless execution for new investments.
