Promising ease of doing business, tax relief and continuous power supply, the Yogi Adityanath- led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is all set to unveil its industrial policy in the “next 2-4 weeks”. “We are coming out with an industrial policy within next 2-4 weeks. We will try that it is rolled out by June 26,” , state Industries Minister Satish Mahana told reporters in Mohali today. The highlight of this industrial policy, he said, will be uninterrupted power supply to the industry. “As far as power is concerned, we are going to give open access for it. The industrialists and investors can purchase power from the private party. This open access thing was not there in UP till date,” he said, adding that “we are also coming out with tax benefits for the investors”.
The minister said a single-window system will be set up to provide all facilities to potential investors under one roof. “We are also studying industrial policies of other states to incorporate good things,” the minister said. Promoting food parks and restoring old glory of Kanpur, once called Manchester of the East, will also be part of the new industrial policy. “Industrialists want congenial atmosphere, ease of doing business. Earlier, there used to be huge power cuts. By 2018, we will give round-the-clock power supply to people and have promised industrialists uninterrupted power,” he said.
