The Chhattisgarh government has decided to amend the Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 to promote industries and encourage investment in the state.
The council of ministers approved several important amendments in the policy at the cabinet meeting held on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. “The amendments will make the state’s industrial policy more employment-oriented, comprehensive, and beneficial for enterprises,” a state government statement said.
The policy, which was notified on February 27, envisages “Amrit Kaal: Chhattisgarh Vision 2047 with an aim to set new benchmarks in the industrial development of the state.” It was set to be effective from November 1, 2024, to March 31, 2030, with provisions for periodic review and amendments as required.
The statement said the proposed amendment would increase new employment opportunities in the state as well as promote the sectors ranging from modern farming to the toy industry.
Under the new policy, industries which will employ Chhattisgarh people will get grants from the government. Modern farming techniques like hydroponic and aeroponic will be promoted. Farmers will get the benefit of new technology, such as automation and internet of things.
