“The West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) passed the proposal of Instakart on Wednesday (October 10, 2018) and it will be later sent to the Cabinet Standing Committee for in-principle passage, which is a formality,” Mitra said. He said Instakart had been scouting for land for the logistics hub in different eastern region states, before zeroing in on West Bengal. “They (Instakart) will perform the role of anchor investor in the industrial park, which will, in turn, attract other investors in future,” the minister said.
