Punjab govt pulls out from mega textile park bid due to land unavailability Chandigarh, Jan 14 (KNN)
Owing to
unavailability of land the Punjab government has withdrawn its application for the centre's mega textile park scheme, informed Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal.
He clarified that the centre has launched production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes across sectors and does not discriminate between states.
The Minister said that the Centre is building seven mega textile parks for which applications were invited under the PM Mitra scheme.
Giving the reason of Punjab's withdrawal as land availability, he said,“So even if we want, we cannot consider Punjab under the scheme.”
Speaking at press conference after the 13th India-US Trade Policy Forum in Washington DC, he appreciated the Sikh enterprise and appealed to the Punjab Government to become more proactive in seeking investment and competing for central incentives.
