<h1>India's Industrial Policy Empowers Investors with Location Choice, Offers Special Packages for Challenging Areas.</h1> Under India's liberalized industrial policy, investors decide on the location of new industries, with minimal direct financial assistance from the Central Government. Instead, policy measures and specific schemes like the North-East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy and Transport Subsidy Scheme aim to encourage industrial growth in challenging areas. Special packages are available for states like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, among others. Additional support is provided through schemes such as the Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme and the Integrated Leather Development Programme. The Commerce and Industry Minister shared this information in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
