What is the outlay of the Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna (BHAVYA)?
- A.Rs 2,500 crore
- B.Rs 33,660 crore
- C.Rs 7.82 lakh crore
- D.Rs 97,328 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 33,660 crore. That is the outlay with which BHAVYA was notified on 10 April 2026 after Cabinet approval in March 2026, and it funds the development of 100 plug-and-play industrial parks with assistance of up to Rs 1 crore per acre. Option A, Rs 2,500 crore, is the amount the Union Budget 2025-26 had allocated for plug-and-play industrial parks, an earlier and much smaller commitment. Option C, Rs 7.82 lakh crore, is the investment drawn by India’s notified special economic zones, which numbered 370 as of February 2026, and so belongs to a different policy phase altogether. Option D, Rs 97,328 crore, is the investment potential reported for the Dholera Special Investment Region in Gujarat, cited only as an example of integrated industrial development. Candidates should attach the outlay firmly to the scheme name.
