The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has said West Bengal can once again emerge as a strong hub of trade, industry and employment if it adopts transparent, investor-friendly policies aligned with national economic initiatives. CAIT Secretary Praveen Khandelwal said the state has seen industrial decline over the past 15 years due to policy instability, loss of investor confidence, and challenges faced by MSMEs and traditional sectors like jute, tea, and handloom. He claimed many small industries have shifted out of the state. CAIT leaders urged reforms such as ease of doing business, infrastructure upgrades, and stronger support for startups and artisans to revive growth.
