Wooing investors ahead of his visit to Japan and China, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said entrepreneurs will be offered special concessions in areas where industrial development has been slow and facilities for setting up mega projects involving investment worth over Rs 100 crore.
Addressing media persons in New Delhi, Khattar said the state government is organising 'Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit-2016' on March 7 and 8 and Haryana Pravasi Divas on March 9 in Gurgaon to woo foreign investors.
More than 1,000 investors and businessmen are expected to participate in the summit, he said.
Khattar expressed confidence that efforts made by the state government to boost capital investment and shore up the economy would soon bring fruitful results and new MoUs and agreements, signed with different investors and corporate entities, would be implemented, leading to all-round development of the state.
The visit to Japan and China, from January 17 to 22, is aimed at projecting Haryana as a preferred investment destination. Khattar will be leaving along with a high-level delegation of officers and businessmen later in the evening.
"During the visit, we would meet diplomats, Indians settled in those countries, investors and businessmen and invite them to invest in Haryana," he said.
The Chief Minister expressed satisfaction over the performance of his government and said that investment to the tune of Rs one lakh crore would be made in different sectors of the state which would lead to generation of employment opportunities for four lakh youths.
He claimed that Haryana offered ideal conditions and environment for industry to grow and flourish.
"With implementation of the new Enterprises Promotion Policy 2015, we have simplified the process for change in land use and other procedures. An e-Biz portal has also been launched to enhance the ease of doing business. This portal is making all kinds of services and facilities available to investors online," he added.
Reiterating Haryana government's commitment towards ensuring equal development of all parts of the state, Khattar said entrepreneurs would be offered special concessions in areas where industrial development has been slow.
"Special facilities would also be provided for setting up mega projects involving investment worth more than Rs 100 crore," he said.
A high-level committee with special powers has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Principal Secretary for immediate redressal of the difficulties faced by investors at the headquarter level. Committees have also been constituted at the district level under the chairmanship of deputy commissioners for the purpose, he added.
