Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao on Tuesday hinted that the highlight of the state’s new industrial policy would be a single window system that will ensure that all departments concerned would issue permissions and licences without any interference or delay.

“There will be no red tape and it is going to be a zero-corruption system. All the departments from which permissions and licences are required would work in tandem and issue the orders within a time frame,’’ the CM told a delegation from Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Tuesday. The CM sought suggestions from the CII delegates and representatives from Telangana Industrialists Welfare Federation and Federation of AP Chambers of Commerce and Industry to fine tune the proposed policy. The Chief Minister also holds the industry portfolio.

“The CM said the new industrial policy would be system driven, and that when it becomes an Act, the policy will be one of the best Legislation in the country,’’ an official said. The Chief Minister’s Office will be incharge of the single window system and required permissions and licences would be issued within 15 days. A ‘chasing cell’ to pursue queries from corporate and industrialists interested in investing is also being set up in the CMO. It doesn’t matter how many permissions are required from how many departments, the CMO will issue the final order to start work with a fortnight of applying, the CM is learnt to have told the delegation.

Telangana Government has already identified some five lakh acres of land across the 10 districts to be made available for setting up industries. The CM said that industrial parks for at least five core sectors like pharma, food processing etc would be set up in each of the 10 districts of TElangana. “The new industrial policy which we are proposing will make TElangana the first choice of investors. We have already identified 5 lakh acres that can be given to new investment projects. We will overcome power supply problems within year,’’ KCR said. The government will also give 100 per cent stamp duty waiver to new industries coming in with Rs 200 crores investment.

The survey to identify land to be made available to investment projects was taken up by the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (TSIIDC) which has identified and recorded how much land is available in each district. Telangana Government would introduce the proposed policy in the budget session and make it a legislation.
