Chamber of Commerce Congratulates CM, Emphasizes Critical Infrastructure Need
Key Points:
- SCCI congratulates Hemant Soren on second term as CM
- Business body pushes for airport in Jamshedpur or Dhalbhumgarh
- Chamber highlights economic impact of missing air connectivity
JAMSHEDPUR – The Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce advocates for urgent airport construction to boost regional development.
SCCI President Vijay Anand Moonka leads this initiative. The Steel City hosts over 1,300 industries.
Moreover, the region significantly contributes to state revenue. However, it lacks essential air connectivity.
Meanwhile, businesses face logistical challenges. People travel to Ranchi or Kolkata for flights.
Furthermore, the city has a century-old industrial heritage. It serves as Jharkhand’s economic capital.
In addition, young professionals often leave the region. “We lose talent regularly,” notes a chamber member.
Besides, neighboring states benefit from this exodus. New investors hesitate to establish businesses here.
On the other hand, Dhalbhumgarh offers an alternative location. It has sufficient land available.
“An airport would transform regional economics,” states an industry expert.
Meanwhile, previous airport proposals remained pending. The last attempt was in 2019.
Furthermore, the city’s GDP exceeds Rs 50,000 crore annually. Air connectivity could boost this significantly.
Besides, several multinational companies operate here. They require better transportation infrastructure.
