Rasna Private Limited chairman and managing director Piruz Khambatta said that earlier when the CM and others had visited Ahmedabad to invite investors to the summit, the industrial fraternity had suggested that some policy decisions should be taken to make the State more conducive for investment. “The CM had said that we will act on this and shortly afterwards, the State framed 10 policies-some of which are not there even in States like Gujarat and Maharashtra.
This State has considerable scope for investment and development especially in sectors like food processing as it will also help in not just doubling but tripling the income of farmers,” he said.
