Chhattisgarh’s Industrial Policy 2024-29: Forging a future of self-sufficiency and economic resilience

Chhattisgarh's Industrial Policy 2024-29 aims to empower marginalized groups, boost entrepreneurship, and drive sustainable growth in the state.

Chhattisgarh, known for its rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources, is embarking on a significant industrial journey. This path opens up new opportunities for the people of the State while marking a crucial step toward realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed and self-sufficient India. Our Industrial Policy 2024-29 aligns with the “Amritkaal: Chhattisgarh Vision@2047”, aiming to transform the State into a self-reliant industrial hub.

Launched on the State’s foundation day, the new policy introduces special provisions for surrendered Naxals, women, and the third gender community, marking a commitment to inclusivity in development.

This policy is not only designed to accelerate economic growth but also to empower those groups that have often been left behind in the progress stream. By fostering industrial development, we seek to give every citizen a chance to participate in and benefit from economic growth.

The key highlights of the policy include a special package for the economic empowerment of the third gender community, surrendered Naxals, and women, helping them integrate into the mainstream of society. This package aims to provide support and training for these groups to start new journeys toward self-reliance.

One primary objective is to rehabilitate surrendered Naxals, offering new hope and opportunities. A special incentive package provides entrepreneurship training and financial assistance, enabling individuals to leave behind conflict and regain respect through meaningful work and community involvement.

New avenues will be created for the third gender community, offering support and training to build independent futures. With government-backed financial assistance and incentives, individuals from this community can establish their own enterprises, breaking through long-standing social and economic barriers.

Women, who play an essential role in Chhattisgarh’s social and economic life, are a vital focus of this new policy. We have included measures to support women entrepreneurs through investment concessions, tax exemptions, and financial assistance.
