Fadnavis Announces ‘War Room’ For Industries In Wake Of US Tariffs
Mumbai: Maharashtra Prime Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Thursday that a third “War Room dedi dedicated to the industry sector was established. He said that this new war room will focus on effective implementation of the policy of “ease of doing business”. The initiative comes in response to the implementation of high tariffs on Indian goods, which Fadnavis says it should be seen as an opportunity to accelerate economic reforms and industrial growth.
“US tariffs were aimed at creating difficulties for India. But under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
Currently, there are two war rooms available in the state, one for infrastructure and the other for the social service sector. It was first introduced in the previous period of Mr. Fadnavis. His aim was to monitor infrastructure projects such as metro lines of Mumbai. The second war room for social services was established after starting to work again.
Authorized, the new war room will focus on industrial development of bottlenecks and facilitating approval processes for new investments.
Industrial Secretary Speaking after a high -level meeting at Sahyadri Guest House, which was attended by senior officials, including P. Anbalagan and Mitra CEO Pruvin Singh Pardeshi, directed the Prime Minister’s Office (CMO) to conclude the structure of the New War Room.
“The Prime Minister wants a mechanism that brings together all department services at a single point on a portal,” he said at the meeting. The Portal currently offers 119 services from 15 departments and Fadnavis called on the remaining departments to integrate their services for more efficiency.
The Prime Minister emphasized the monthly investigations of the progress of the war room and reiterated the importance of digital governance. He called on a more powerful single -window system to provide timely approvals and minimize delays for industrial projects.
Mr. Fadnavis also focused on supporting small and medium -sized enterprises (SMEs), encouraging the development of private industrial parks, especially outside traditional MIDC areas. Maharashtra called on Industrial Development Corporation to create an open policy to promote such parks and accelerate land approval.
Cutting the bureaucracy proposed a great driving force, Mr. Fadnavis, five hectares or more agricultural processing industries that have spread to five hectares should be exempted from previous permits, and that a mechanism should be created to support it. “The ease of doing business should not only remain a policy on paper-it should reflect the real change in the place. For non-mass industries, environmental gaps should not be delayed unnecessarily. Land measurement processes should also be followed quickly,” he said.
The authority added that the government would create an ecosystem that encourages growth, investment and employment in Maharashtra, allowing the government to respond to both new and existing businesses.
