"Land scarcity is a major problem for expansion of industrial sector as the government is not in a position to provide required space for new industries in the existing estates. We will soon be constituting a task force to identify vacant plots that can be allotted to pollution-free units," he said.

 

Rane said the state government will be geo-tagging plots, adding instructions have been given to Goa Industrial Development Corporation to digitise industrial records by January 2020.
