Why doesn't the government develop other cities?
With the Cost of Living skyrocketing in major cities like Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad etc and salary increments staying constant, resulting in lowered quality of life, why doesn't the government promote industries in new cities of India?
Why are they looking to cram everyone in select 4-5 cities leading to overcrowding, depleting resources, higher demand leading to higher prices and hostility from the locals?
Also, why do states like West Bengal don't want to develop their state and bring new industries and companies?
Most companies have a good amount of Bengali staff and if WB decide to develop, many many would take a transfer to Kolkata leading to rapid growth of the state.
I understand corruption is there but with more industries comes more people meaning more consumption and higher GST collection which is an opportunity for the politicians to make money.
Growth benefits everyone and doesn't leave anyone behind, even if it's corruption.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑I think it's a chicken and egg story. Unless there is reasonable talent available in those cities even the corporates will hesitate to set shop there. I would love to see cities like Indore, Ahemdabad, Lucknow, Kochi, Chandigarh, and Kolkata go big in the corporate map. The much anticipated GIFT city too didn't take off as per expectations. Will talent be interested in migrating to these cities also is quite debatable at this stage. Unless governments envision a 20 year project and develop everything towards that it is going to be difficult.
Twin cities with solid expressways and rapid metros is somewhat easier I would say. Develop cities closer to the already big metropolises and make commute better. City grows by itself and the talent is readily available.
I think it’s easier for them to continue pouring money on infrastructure in few existing cities. The cost of setting up from scratch from other cities could be very high too
