Rajasthan petrochemical zone allotment to be completed in 3 months units operational in 6 CM

    Jaipur, Nov 14 (PTI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Saturday directed officials to complete allotment of industrial plots in the Rajasthan Petrochemical Zone within three months and ensure industrial units begin operations within six months of allotment.

     Chairing a high-level meeting on the zone's development, Sharma said it was emerging as a major centre for employment generation and revenue, and stressed promoting petrochemical-based industries and manufacturing within the state.

    He directed officials to auction the remaining plots and issue notices to allotment holders who had not started industrial activities, stressing that land should be used for actual production rather than remain unutilised.

    Sharma also called for promoting the use of refinery by-products by local industries, including cement and pipe manufacturers, to strengthen the industrial ecosystem and reduce supply costs.

     He directed officials to organise an investors' meeting in Balotra to attract investments and explore supplying refinery by-products to local industrial units at concessional rates.

     The chief minister also stressed effective implementation of investment promotion schemes, including the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme and plug-and-play facilities, to facilitate industrial units and generate employment.
