Bengaluru: The Karnataka government said on November 15 that 1,691 industrial projects had been approved, citing ₹2,63,921 crore in investment and 5,43,218 jobs generated from 2023–24 to date.
The Department of Information and Public Relations issued the statement with Kannada and English graphics. The post described the period as the past three years, while the graphics give figures from 2023–24 to date.
The Kannada graphic lists 591 projects, ₹84,232 crore and 1,57,151 employment opportunities for 2023–24, and 454 projects, ₹36,473 crore and 1,13,755 opportunities for 2024–25. It gives 418 projects, ₹71,307 crore and 1,13,501 opportunities for 2025–26, followed by 171 projects, ₹62,995 crore and 1,41,046 opportunities for 2026–27 to date.
The English graphic, however, repeats the 2023–24 figures of 591 projects, ₹84,232 crore and 1,57,151 jobs for both 2025–26 and 2026–27. The difference between the two graphics remains unexplained.
Both language versions separately list 57 projects, ₹8,914 crore and 17,765 jobs under Tumakuru CBIC. Adding those figures to the four Kannada year-wise figures gives the government’s aggregate in all three measures.
