Bihar

India’s power sector is poised for a strategic shift as NTPC Limited explores a significant nuclear energy project in Bihar. The proposed plan involves setting up two 700 MW nuclear reactors in Banka district, with an estimated investment of Rs 25,000 crore. Currently under feasibility assessment, the project reflects a broader push toward energy diversification and low-carbon power generation.

Bihar’s fiscal performance in FY26 reflects steady, though not exceptional, progress in revenue mobilization, with total commercial tax collections reaching Rs 43,324 crore—about 93.17 percent of the annual target. The growth of 4.09 percent year-on-year highlights a moderate expansion amid evolving economic conditions. Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections remained the primary driver, recording a 9.2 percent net increase after adjustments.
