Ambuja Neotia Group Chairman Harshavardhan Neotia commented on the governance and economic environment in West Bengal, noting that after 50 years, the state aligns with the ruling political framework at the Centre. Reflecting on past friction between state and central authorities, Neotia highlighted that the current governance environment has stabilized, leading to substantial investment flow across key industrial and real estate sectors in Bengal. "Under the previous government, there used to be bickering and sometimes even heated arguments, but the current government is doing well, and there is a lot of investment taking place," said Neotia.
