The cabinet agreed to the West Bengal government’s decision to develop an industrial park, a power plant and an eco-tourism park on Nayachar Island in Haldia, in place of the PCPIR project.

The cabinet committee on economic affairs had in 2009 approved setting up a PCPIR in the Haldia municipal area and Nayachar islands in the Purba Medinipur district of the state.

The implementation of PCPIRs are reviewed by the union government on a quarterly basis after their approval by CCEA.
