Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday asked the officers to ensure that new Industrial Policy is dedicated to industry soon.
Mann, chairing a high level review meeting, said that Punjab is on the threshold of becoming a front-runner industrial state in the country; and the new Industrial Policy, being prepared by the State Government, will act as a pivot for it. “For the first time, this industry policy has been formulated after taking the views of all the stakeholders, especially the industrialists,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that the suggestions of the state’s industrial captains have been duly incorporated in this policy. Likewise, Mann said that the opinions received from the industrial tycoons, during his recent visits to Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai too, have been included in it. This new industrial policy will give much needed fillip to industrial growth of the state, he added.
At the same time, the officers have been asked to ensure that this policy is finalized very soon so that it can be duly implemented in the State. “The officers must ensure that this policy is dedicated to the industrialists at the earliest,” said Mann expressing hope that the policy will put the state on high growth trajectory of industrial growth.
