GIDC must make SEZ land available for industries: GSIA chief

VASCO
Goa State Industries Association (GSIA) President Damodar Kochkar has said that the IDC must make the SEZ land available for industries so as to give a chance to new entrepreneurs to set up industries.

“We are insisting with the government on the release of the SEZ Land which has been released and taken back by IDC but has not been offered to industries as yet and we are trying to resolve the bottleneck,” said Kochkar. 

Kochkar further added that services of the GIDC, Goa State Pollution Control Board and Factories and Boilers Department should be made available on an online platform.

“Even as GSIA President, I have stressed on improving the decision-making of the GIDC and in a new initiative, we have requested to put all the services on an online platform because industries have to spend a lot of time to visit GIDC and an online platform can ensure transparency. We will also insist for the same online proposal with Factories and Boilers Department and GSPCB,” said Kochkar.
