## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a) to (f): The primary responsibility of developing the industrial sector rests with State Governments, including setting up of new industrial units  and  the  revival  of closed industrial units in the States. States adopt different policy measures to promote  industrial  development.  The  state  of  Kerala  has  formulated  a  new Industrial  policy  in  2023  to  accelerate  its  industrial  growth  and  create  more employment opportunities. The policy aims to provide financial incentives and support to foster the development of  industries.  Further,  the  'Kerala  Stressed MSMEs Revival & Rehabilitation  Scheme'  provides  financial  and  other handholding support to the stressed MSMEs.

The Union Government supplements efforts of State Governments to promote industrialization  and  address  the  challenges  faced  by  them.  Government  of India, through Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and other Central Ministries/ Departments, provides an enabling eco-system for the  overall  industrial  development  of  the  country  through  appropriate  policy interventions.  In  addition  to  ongoing  schemes  of  various  Ministries  and Departments,  the  Government  has  taken  various  steps  for  promotion  and facilitation of setting up of new industries across State/UTs such as Make in India,  Startup  India,  PM  GatiShakti,  National  Infrastructure  Pipeline  (NIP), National  Industrial  Corridor  Programme,  Production  Linked  Incentive  (PLI) Scheme, promoting Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) and reducing compliance burden, National Single Window  System (NSWS), India Industrial Land Bank, Project Monitoring Group (PMG),  liberalization of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, Indian Footwear and Leather Development Programme (IFLDP) Scheme, etc. An institutional mechanism to fast-track investments has been put in  place,  in  the  form  of  Project  Development  Cells (PDCs), in all concerned Mrinistries/ Departments of Government of India.

In  addition,  Government  of  India  has  approved  the  following  Central  Sector Schemes for Industrial Development of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Union Territory (UT) of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh and North Eastern Region (NER):

- i. Industrial  Development  Scheme  (IDS),  2017  for  UT  of  J&K  and  UT  of Ladakh.
- ii.  Industrial Development Scheme (IDS), 2017 for Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Uttarakhand (UK).
- iii. New Central Sector Scheme (NCSS) for Industrial Development of J&K.
- iv. North East Industrial and Investment Policy (NEIIPP), 2007.
- v. North East Industrial Development Scheme (NEIDS), 2017.
- vi. Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme (UNNATI, 2024)

The Government is implementing the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme which is aimed at providing multi modal connectivity with complete 'plug and play' infrastructure till the plot level along with building resilient and sustainable future ready cities. The industrial corridors are conceived to foster global manufacturing and investment destination hubs in the greenfield smart cities with the 'best in-class' infrastructure. Government of India till date has approved the  development  of  20  projects  under  National  Industrial  Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) and further, to establish/build 100 Industrial Parks  across  the  country.  The  details  of  20  projects  are  enclosed  at Annexure- A.

The Department has developed a National level land bank by integrating State industrial Geographic Information System (GIS) with India Industrial Land Bank (IILB) which  provides a GIS enabled data base of industrial areas including clusters, parks, nodes, zones, etc. across the country to help investors identify their preferred location for investment. The platform  provides  information  on available internal infrastructure, external connectivity to  nodal  points  airports, national highways, railways, dry ports, etc., available raw material, and plug and play facilities. Currently, 4881 industrial parks/estates/SEZs covering

7.62 lakh hectares land area with details on utilities, connectivity, raw material availability, terrain etc. on IILB portal have been mapped. This will enable the investors  to  see  plot  level  data  and  availability  of  updated  land  related information in real time. State/ UT wise Industrial Park mapped on IILB portal is provided at Annexure- B. The Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) is an initiative of DPIIT aimed at improving the regulatory framework affecting businesses in India. Launched in 2015, BRAP involves a comprehensive list of reforms that States and Union Territories are encouraged to implement. These reforms span various aspects of  business  operations,  including  starting  a  business,  compliance  with  labor laws, obtaining construction permits, and environmental registrations, among others.  BRAP  is  designed  to  promote  competitive  federalism,  encouraging states to create a more conducive business environment to attract investments. The performance of states  is  assessed  based  on  their  implementation  of these  reforms.  Till  date  six  editions of BRAP (2015, 2016, 2017-18, 2019, 2020 and 2022) have been completed and States/UTs have been assessed

accordingly.
