Industrial policy means, government-sponsored economic program in
which the public and private sectors coordinate their efforts to develop new
technologies and industries. Government provides the financial support and capital

non-strategic areas. Sick units will be referred to the Board for Industrial and

The Government is committed to promote increased flow of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) for better technology, modernisation, exports and for

than 1 million populations, there will be no requirement of obtaining
industrial approvals from the centre, except for industries subject to
compulsory licensing.
