Singur's industry and Tata Motors. These words changed Mamata Banerjee's life and seemingly West Bengal's fate. Since then, the struggle to attract investment in the state has been ongoing. But what is the real situation? Do you know how many companies have left Bengal during Mamata's tenure?

The Bengal Global Business Summit is scheduled in a few days. International entrepreneurs, along with those from other states, are being invited. However, amidst all this, explosive information has come to light regarding how many companies have moved their offices out of Bengal.

Union Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, Shri Harsh Malhotra, provided this answer in response to a written question by Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta. Swapan Dasgupta had asked how many companies had moved their registered offices from West Bengal to other states between 2019 and 2024.
