Sanjiv Goenka, Chairman of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, unveiled a Rs 15,800 crore investment plan aimed at enhancing energy, education, and healthcare infrastructure in West Bengal. Speaking at the Business and Industry Conclave 2025, he applauded Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's decisive leadership in fostering rapid investments.

The centerpiece of Goenka's proposal is an ambitious 5,000 megawatt-hours energy storage project, costing Rs 12,000 crore, which is expected to be one of India's first major storage facilities.

A new state-of-the-art hospital, scheduled for completion by January 2027, promises to raise healthcare standards.
