Collector A. Shyam Prasad chaired a review meeting of the District Industrial Export Promotion Committee (DIEPC) at the Collectorate on Wednesday. He stressed time-bound approvals to speed up industrial projects in Sri Sathya Sai district. The Collector reviewed 15 industrial units that promised an investment of ₹6,175 crore and employment for 13,426 people, based on MoUs from the recent Investors’ Summit in Visakhapatnam. Talking with unit representatives, he urged them to quickly acquire land, start ground-breaking ceremonies, and begin production soon. He emphasized the need for smooth coordination among multiple departments to meet these goals. The Collector also reviewed central schemes like PMEGP and PM Vishwakarma. Concerned about safety, he ordered frequent checks on hazardous industries. Additionally, 16 units received approval for investment, interest, and sales tax benefits under the Industrial Development Policy.
