The Industrial and Business Development Policy 2017 is part of the vision to put the State back on high trajectory of growth and prosperity.The new Policy is a holistic framework for sustainable industrial growth of the State. The policy is architected around eight core strategic pillars of Infrastructure, Power, MSME, Ease of Doing Business, Startup & Entrepreneurship, Skills, Fiscal & Non-Fiscal Incentives and Stakeholder Engagementsupported by Sector Specific Strategies for growth.
The Policy marks a decisive shift from department centric approach to a business centric approach.
