Puducherry administration to frame new industrial, EV, logistics and IT & ITeS policies

Pondicherry, July 10 (KNN) The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Puducherry chapter chairman A. Joseph Rozario on Monday said that the association is working closely with the territorial administration to frame the new industrial, EV, logistics and IT & ITeS policies.

In his first interaction with media after taking over as chairman, Rozario said “Puducherry is performing well in terms of trade and industrial production. Several new firms have come up and some existing units have gone for expansion in the recent months. We are working with the government to further improve the industrial climate and attract more investments.”

CII’s new chairman in a meeting with government representatives raised the labour issues in the union territory. 

Welcoming the government’s effort to develop 750-odd acres of land in Sedarapet to set up industrial units, Rozario said the initiative would help in bringing more pharma and IT companies to the UT. 

“The Pondicherry Industrial Promotion Development and Investment Corporation Limited is studying the development of industrial estates in other parts of the country before developing the land at Sedarapet,” he informed.

Vice Chairman of the CII Puducherry chapter, V. Shanmuganandam said that CII was working with nine Industrial Training Institutes in the UT to enhance students’ skills and make them more employable. 

Deputy Director and Head, CII Puducherry, Y. J Franklin were amongst those present at the media interaction.
