1.        Preface

 

1.1       Chhattisgarh, endowed with abundant natural resources, is a 21st century state. The state contains rich forests and minor forest produce having more than 88 species of medicinal plants and is a store house of huge mineral deposits, including precious minerals. Due to easy availability of these resources, it has immense potential for industrial development.

1.2       It is the endeavour of the State Government to work towards rapid economic growth with regional balance so as to take the state to the category of "developed states". To bring about prosperity to the people of Chhattisgarh, it is necessary that the present rate of industrial growth increases substantially. Therefore, creation of a favourable investment environment for increasing industrial production and creating employment opportunities is one of the priority areas of the State Government.

1.3       The main objective of the new industrial policy is to add maximum value to state's abundant natural resources within the state itself, and create maximum employment opportunities by setting up industries in all its districts across the state. To attract industrial investment in the state, the policy attempts at providing necessary infrastructure for investment, reducing the cost of production for the investor and ensuring an investor friendly administration. Towards this end, special importance has been given to private sector participation.

1.4       Special effort has been made in the policy to see that, in addition to the industrially more developed areas, industries are set up in the state's industrially backward areas also, and that entrepreneurs from scheduled caste and scheduled tribe category also join the process of industrial development. Due attention has also been paid to investments by non-resident Indians, foreign direct investment, rehabilitation of closed and sick industries, development of skills for industrial employment, etc.

1.5       For finalising the draft of the industrial policy, industrial associations, industrialists, investors, representatives of financial institutions, subject experts, etc. were consulted and their valuable views and suggestions have been accepted. The State Government hopes that implementation of the "Industrial Policy (2004-2009)" will provide impetus to State's industrialisation and creation of employment opportunities.

2.        Objectives

2.1       To create additional employment opportunities by accelerating the process of industrialisation in the state.

2.2       To create enabling environment for ensuring maximum value addition to the abundant, locally available mineral and forest based resources.

2.3       To ensure balanced regional development by attracting industries in the economically backward areas of the state.

2.4       To ensure participation of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other weaker sections in the development process.

2.5       To make industrial investments in the state competitive vis-a-vis other states in the country.

2.6       To promote private sector participation for creation of industrial infrastructure in the state.

3.        Strategy

3.1       To take measures for ensuring availability of necessary basic industrial infrastructure like rail-road, power, water, etc.

3.2       To encourage private sector for providing quality roads, developed land, water, etc. in the least possible time, and to encourage captive power generation for providing low cost power.

3.3       To establish new industrial areas, expand the existing industrial areas and to improve available services therein.

3.4       To set up special industrial parks to provide common infrastructure and services by adopting cluster approach for the development of industries which have not been developed inspite of availability of abundant resources.

3.5       To identify and promote such non-traditional industries for which good potential exists in the State due to availability of necessary resources.

 

 

3.6       To provide special directed incentives to encourage establishment of industries by the weaker classes and in the economically backward areas of the State.

3.7       To provide special incentives to small scale and cottage industries to create employment opportunities in the industrial sector in the least possible time throughout the State.

3.8       To provide incentives to industrial units for technology upgradation and modernisation to enable them to face the challenges of global competition.

3.9       To make arrangements for skill improvement, training and guidance of younger sections to enable them to seek maximum possible employment.

3.10     To provide special package necessary for rehabilitation of sick and closed industrial units.

3.11     To establish an effective system of "single point contact" and "time bound clearance" for providing requisite facilities, services and statutory clearances for investment.
