Srinagar, April 13: The PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) Kashmir on Monday highlighted key implementation challenges affecting industrial growth in the region during a high-level review meeting convened by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

The meeting was led by Rajesh Panwar, Director, DPIIT, and attended by Director Industries Kashmir Khalid Majeed, along with other officials. The PHDCCI delegation was represented by Deputy Director Iqbal Fayaz Jan and Executive Committee member Sajad Ahmad Shah.

During the deliberations, PHDCCI Kashmir raised concerns over bottlenecks in the rollout of the National Capital Subsidy Scheme (NCSS) 2021 and the Industrial Development Scheme (IDS) 2017, stating that several structural and procedural issues continue to hinder industrial uptake in the Valley.

A major concern flagged was the delay in obtaining environmental and pollution clearances, which the chamber described as “artificial barriers” preventing eligible industrial units from availing scheme benefits.

The delegation also called for a region-specific industrial policy tailored to Kashmir’s unique geographical and topographical conditions. It argued that a uniform, one-size-fits-all framework does not adequately address the challenges faced by industries in the region and cited the customized approach adopted for Ladakh as a model worth replicating.

While acknowledging that the NCSS 2021 was designed as a transformative ₹28,400 crore package offering capital incentives, GST-linked benefits, and interest subvention, PHDCCI noted that the scheme has so far failed to deliver tangible benefits in Kashmir due to procedural delays and compliance-related hurdles.

The chamber further pointed to a significant regional imbalance in the allocation of benefits. It stated that a substantial portion of the approved outlay—₹20,098 crore—has been concentrated among a limited number of large units, primarily in Jammu districts, leaving Kashmir with minimal gains.

Officials present at the meeting, including the DPIIT leadership, gave a patient hearing to the issues raised by PHDCCI and other stakeholders. The engagement was seen as a positive step, with indications that the concerns flagged may be taken into consideration in future policy adjustments.

The meeting underscored the need for more inclusive and region-sensitive industrial policies to ensure balanced economic development across Jammu and Kashmir.
