Punjab comes up with plan to boost exports

Chandigarh, May 13

The Punjab Government has come up with a plan to give boost to ease of doing business besides promoting exports. Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan approved the initiative — a first by any state in the country.

Chairing the state-level export committee’s meeting, she said the state government has prepared the Punjab State Export Plan 2021-26 in order to implement ‘district as export hub scheme’ and ‘one district one product scheme’. This will transform the state into an export power house and promote local products with an objective of increasing volume of exports, synergies of various schemes of the Centre and the State, besides increasing efficiency in supply chains and augmenting export infrastructure, products and market diversification. — TNS
