- The State has recently declared the new Industrial Policy -2013 to ensure sustained industrial growth through various innovative initiatives so as to further improve the conducive industrial climate in the State and to provide global competitive edge to the industries in the State.
- The policy envisages grant of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to the Industrial units with a view to helping the units achieve higher and sustainable economic growth with emphasis on balanced regional development and employment generation through greater Private and Public Investment in industrial sector. It is therefore necessary to amend the Package Scheme of Incentives-2007, in the light of the Industrial Policy-2013 and introduce a new “Package Scheme of Incentives 2013” containing details of eligibility criteria, quantum of incentives and monitoring mechanism for administering the incentives during the period up to the 31st March, 2018.
