Lucknow, JNN. Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan: The industrial development department of Uttar Pradesh, which is looking at the possibility of industries coming back on track with the special economic package of the central government, has also stepped up to realize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s self-reliant India campaign. At the same time, on the lines of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, UP Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana has also announced that his Industry Department will now use only indigenous items.
Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana told reporters in his Vidhan Bhavan office on Thursday that the historic relief package that the Center has given in this transition period of Corona will greatly help in the operation of industries and attract new investment. He also thanked Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur.
Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana said that the government is considering several decisions to give relief to industries. For example, SGST is now reimbursed to investors. Since the GST rate on different items is different, the reimbursement is not the same even if the investment amount is the same. In such a situation, the idea is to fix capital subsidy instead of GST refund, which can be given in a phased manner.

Various concessions to the builders will be announced as soon as the report comes.
Government will divest investment policies of other countries
Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana said that the UP government is eyeing the companies of those countries, which now want to withdraw their steps from China. Efforts are on to attract them. Mahana said that the state government has made a lot of changes in its policies. Now investment policy of other countries will also be studied. Then further changes can be made as needed. Along with this, the idea is to develop a separate township to attract Japanese companies. They will also be given residential facilities there. For this, the department has about five hundred acres in Auraiya and also in Unnao’s Transganga City.
