A policy to attract investments in the high growth FMCG sector, one of the 14 such sector specific measures proposed by the Telangana government, will be unveiled by April.
Towards seeking inputs, a committee comprising representatives and experts in the sector is to be formed shortly. The exercise is similar to the panel constituted for giving shape to a policy on the aerospace industry, Commissioner of Industries K. Manicka Raj said here on Wednesday. He was responding to suggestions from a packaging industry representative at a road show organised by the Confederation of Industry (CII) for the Make in India Week in Mumbai. Telangana government will put up a stall at the event to be held from February 13-18.
Highlighting the measures initiated by the State , he said certain changes have been made recently by the Labour, Employment Training and Factories Department. The emphasis is on self-certification, reducing the frequency of inspections for certain categories and issuing licence renewal for 10 years.
He, however, added that there is no proposal to relax the norms to facilitate lay-off of employees.
CII Telangana chairperson Vanitha Datla said industry looked forward to labour reforms, norms pertaining to minimum wages and a policy for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
