Modi was speaking after the inauguration of a three-day fair organized by the Bihar Readymade Garments Association.

Urging readymade garment producers to invest in Bihar, he said that a number of incentives such as land registration exemption and an additional grant of 10 percent interest on bank loans are on offer to those willing to invest in the state.
