Chhattisgarh Deputy CM Arun Sao said, “The state government is monitoring the condition of roads in the state…”
Raipur: On Thursday, Arun Sao, the deputy chief minister of Chhattisgarh, said that the state government will include funds in the budget to upgrade the state’s roadways.
“In accordance with our manifesto’s statements on urban bodies, we have attempted to include provisions in our budget. Speaking to the media, Sai said, “We will include funding in the budget to rehabilitate the state of the roads in Chhattisgarh, which deteriorated during the five years of the Congress administration.
All of the Chhattisgarh government’s cabinet members, including Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, will go to Prayagraj today to take a holy bath at the Mahakumbh.
After CM Vishnu Deo Sai met with US Consul General Mike Hankey and Russian Consul General Ivan Y. Fetisov earlier in January to examine potential investment prospects in Chhattisgarh in areas such as tourism, IT, education, and health, the state cleared the path for foreign direct investment (FDI).
Through a variety of industrial proposals from top firms concentrating on the plastic, textile, IT, and food processing sectors, Chhattisgarh was able to secure Rs 6,000 crore in investment during the second leg of the investment event in Mumbai. Ambuja Cement submitted the largest investment request, totaling Rs 2,367 crore.
According to a statement from the release, the Chief Minister said that the state has drawn investments of Rs one lakh crore since the introduction of the new industrial strategy, from the Investor Connect event held in Raipur, Delhi, and Mumbai.
The Chief Minister outlined the aspects of the state’s new industrial program for 2024–2030 and said that in order to attract investors, the program has chosen the slogan “Minimum Governance, Maximum Incentives.”
Investors were much relieved by this method as it simplified the process of acquiring No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and allowed approvals to be handled via a single window.
He emphasized that industries with investments of Rs 1,000 crore or those with 1,000 employees were eligible for the Bespoke Policy in order to increase investment and job possibilities.
With sums ranging from Rs 200 crore to Rs 450 crore, this strategy provides for permanent capital investment in the 30% to 50% range.
