Chandigarh,
\nPunjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has written to the Ministry of Defence to set up a Light Combat Vehicles (LCVs) manufacturing unit in Punjab,<\/p>\n
with the assurance that his government would extend all support, including land allocation, for such a project.<\/p>\n
In a letter to Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Captain Amarinder said a LCVs unit would not only go a long way in promoting the establishment of<\/p>\n
ancillary units but also help provide jobs to the unemployed youth in the state. Further, the proposed project would help make LCVs readily available to the<\/p>\n
forces on the border, he said.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister drew Sitharaman\u2019s attention to the “Industrial and Business Development Policy 2017”, recently launched by the Punjab government, with<\/p>\n
many incentives for the industry. The policy, he said, was a holistic framework for the sustainable industrial growth of the State and was a part of the vision to put<\/p>\n
the state back on high trajectory of growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n
Captain Amarinder further pointed out that in view of the potential for its growth and employment generation, the Aerospace and Defence sector had been given<\/p>\n
special emphasis in the policy by treating it as one of the thrust sectors.<\/p>\n
Noting that Punjab had no major unit manufacturing items for defence or of the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, the Chief Minister urged the Defence<\/p>\n
Minister to consider his request for setting up a LCVs manufacturing unit in Punjab at the earliest possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
