Sahai informed him that change of land use (CLU) is a big issue for private Industrial Estates and it is taking too much of time , getting NOC’s is a big hassle .There are lot of NOC’s required for conversion of a private land to Industrial land . He suggested to have a single window for getting those NOC’s done so that more and more private industries could start production at the earliest .

Sahai said that there is a difference between incentives for existing industry when we compare from the new Centre’s Industrial policy for new coming industry , specially GST linked incentives . He suggest to redesign J&K’s Industrial Policy at par with new central industrial policy so that left out incentives of GST could be given to existing industry so that we could save them and existing industry could compete with the new industry of same line .

In connection to Power Cuts he said that there are still too many power cuts and trips and request to upgrade power infrastructure so that power trips could be avoided.
