Haryana govt invites suggestions on draft Industrial Policy

The Haryana government has invited suggestions from the public and other stakeholders about its new Industrial Policy, which promises to enhance ease of doing business in the state by cutting down on red tapism.
"The draft of the new Industrial Policy has been uploaded on the website of the Industries Department (www.Haryanaindustries.Gov.In)," Haryana's Finance and Industries Minister Abhimanyu said here today.
He said that the draft Industrial Policy was uploaded yesterday with the approval of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and it would remain as such on the website for a week to seek suggestions, if any, of the stakeholders.

"The new Industrial Policy would be formally launched after about two weeks," he said after launching online registration and regulation of societies, registration of boilers and renewal and filing of annual return by MSMEs here today.
Describing the new Industrial Policy "as the most progressive policy in the country", Abhimanyu said it is being tested on well-defined parameters and the government is trying to increase confidence of investors.
In reply to a question, the Minister told reporters that the new policy is aimed at identifying industrially backward blocks where industrial units could be set up.

He said the government is working with the motto "from red tape to red carpet" as the government eyes investments worth Rs 1 lakh crore.

To improve the ease of doing business, the draft 'Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy-2015' aims to push for speedy time-bound clearances.
It would also lay emphasis on skill development as per the changing scenario, Abhimanyu said, adding that 17 departments of the state government are working on skill development in a mission mode.
