The Cabinet has approved the development of 12 industrial townships in states such as Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra, with four already developed and work underway in another four. These townships are designed with modern infrastructure, including common effluent facilities, utilities like water and power, and digital connectivity.
