The Goa government on Tuesday amended its policies to simplify the processes for investors by providing single-window clearance for land allotment and construction to attract industries to the state.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant held a meeting with the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industries (GCCI), Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), Goa State Industries Association (GSIA) and others.
State Industries minister Mauvin Godinho and Goa Industries Development Corporation (GIDC) chairman Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco were also present for the meeting.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Sawant said some policies have been amended to attract more investment in the industrial sector and enhance revenue and job opportunities.
The government has decided to simplify the processes for investors with single-window clearance for land allotment and construction of industries, he said.
Commercial plots will be made available to industries through a simplified auction route, he said.
The state government will accord industry status to logistics warehouses and information technology (IT) companies, the chief minister said.
Transfer and sublease processes will also be liberalised as a part of the “ease of business exit” policy, Sawant said.
Incentives will be given to women entrepreneurs, intellectual property holders and startups, he said.
