Bihar’s Gaya node (at Dobhi/Sherghati) is the corridor’s single largest opportunity: ₹16,524 cr of investment potential and ~1.09 lakh projected jobs on 1,670 acres, near Bodh Gaya and the mineral-rich Jharkhand hinterland. The SPV (BIMCGL) is live, the master plan approved, and a second-call EPC tender was floated in October 2025 with 414 acres and ₹132 cr of equity transferred.

Infrastructure & connectivity

Incentives & land: Land ~₹1.42 cr/acre (lowest of the four), plots 1–50 acres; Bihar industrial incentives. The largest industrial township proposed in Bihar.

Anchor tenants & demand signals

No anchor tenants or MoUs are publicly recorded yet — at a greenfield IMC, plots are allotted only after trunk infrastructure is built, so the absence of named tenants this early is expected, not a red flag. At ₹16,524 cr of investment potential it is the corridor’s largest single bet, drawing on the Jharkhand hinterland for steel and engineering feedstock; the BIMCGL board has approved the master plan but plot allotment awaits trunk infrastructure.
