This and several other innovative steps taken to promote investment in state were disclosed at the state level stake holders’ sensitisation workshop on ‘New initiatives on ease of doing business in Haryana’ in Gurgaon on Sunday which was presided over by the Chief Minister, Manohar lal. The workshop was conducted to apprise the field officials of the new initiatives and to propagate them at the ground level. Industry should experience these initiatives and provide feedback for further reforms.
Several new initiatives have been taken to promote investment in the state. After taking feedback from industrialists, some changes have been made in the Enterprises Promotion Policy-2015. As many as 119 industrial services have been brought within the ambit of the Haryana Right to Service Act, 2014, for which a time-frame has been fixed for giving clearances.
