The Himachal Pradesh government is planning to invest ₹3,000 crore in the tourism sector, stepping up efforts to promote green industries suited to its unique geographical and environmental conditions, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said.
Addressing the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Himachal Pradesh annual conference on March 19, themed ‘Building a Future-Ready Himachal Pradesh for a Better Tomorrow: Harnessing Local Strengths for Global Competitiveness’, the Chief Minister urged industry leaders to invest in the State’s tourism, food processing, and information technology sectors.
“The government plans to invest ₹3,000 crore in tourism in the coming years. Heliports are being constructed at district headquarters and prominent tourist destinations across the state, and heli-taxi services have already been introduced, with plans to expand this facility. Additionally, the expansion of Kangra Airport is in progress,” he said.
The Chief Minister said any form of harassment of industrialists would not be tolerated and that their grievances could be brought directly to his notice.
He said a ‘Bulk Drug Park’ is being developed at Haroli in the Una district, with several incentives offered to investors.
