Baghel to host investors summit

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has highlighted his state’s immense potential in eco-tourism, food processing, agro-forestry among others and assured investors of his government’s support.

Herbs and medicinal plants available in the state’s forests would provide a wealth of resources to pharmaceuticals companies willing to make the state their base, he said at the 92nd Annual Convention of FICCI on 21 Dec 2019.

The Chief Minister also presented the state’s new industrial policy to promote sustainable and inclusive industrial development across sectors.

The policy is very flexible and provides incentives across many sectors, he Baghel, also assuring investors of single window clearance in the state.

“Chhattisgarh is currently one of the fastest-growing states and is not impacted by the economic slowdown, considering the inclusive development schemes and policies adopted by the state government,” Baghel stressed.

Baghel agreed with Dr Jyotsna Suri, Past President, FICCI, suggestion of an investor summit in Chattisgarh to attract investments and has urged FICCI to spearhead the initiative.

Dr Sangita Reddy, President-elect, FICCI, while presenting the vote of thanks, assured FICCI’s full support in realizing the shared vision for sustainable and inclusive development of Chhattisgarh. fiinews.com
