Under the new industrial policy 2015, the UT Administration will allow more non-polluting industrial units, like those of IT-enabled services. This was stated by MP Kirron Kher while interacting with mediapersons here today.
Besides the conversion policy, the industrialists have been demanding an increase in the floor area ratio (FAR). The draft of the industrial policy framed in 2009 by the Administration during the tenure of former UT Administrator Shiv Raj Patil was never finalised.
The Ministry of Home Affairs had directed the UT Administration for the implementation of the MSMED Act in the city. The MHA had directed that the Administration should prepare an industrial policy keeping in the legislation in view.
