Setting Up of Industries

Planning Commission set up an Inter-Ministerial Task Group for Redressal of Growing Regional Imbalances in August 2004. The Task Group identified 170 districts on 17 chosen parameters for backwardness including preponderance of agricultural labourers in the population, per capita credit-deposits, infrastructure and institutional facilities and percentage of Scheduled caste and Scheduled Tribe as overall proxy for regional backwardness. The Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) was launched in August 2006. The programme covering 272 districts continued during the 11^th Five Year Plan.  As exercise is being undertaken to restructure BRGF including identification of backward areas for the 12^th Five Year Plan. No study has been conducted to identify industrially backward region of the States for their development.

State-wise details of industries set up  as reflected in Industrial Investment Intentions in terms of IEMs filed, Letters of Intent Issued and Direct Industrial Licence granted during the last three years in the country is at Annexure 1(A&B).

 Details of financial Assistance provided under Central Capital Investment Subsidy scheme, Central Interest Subsidy Scheme and Central Comprehensive Insurance Scheme  to the Special Category States of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh  and Utarakhand are in Annexure 2. From 2002-03 to 2011-12, employment generated was 68,393 in Jammu & Kashmir, 1,05,452 in Himachal Pradesh  and 3,18,890 in Utarakhand. Requests from other states have been received for similar packages, but it has been the consistent stand of the Government not to announce any fresh package in view of the fact that the above mentioned special category States have adverse geographical locations due to hilly and remote terrain and other specifications. There is no proposal to extend any such incentives to other States.
