About North<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The region accounts for 30.7% of the geographical expanse and is the largest contributor to the national GDP at 25.9%.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 However, the region\u2019s share for cumulative FDI inflows (from April 2000 to April 2014) has been 27.9 %, which has not been to commensurate with its size and potential. Further, within this, the bulk of the FDI has been limited to the NCR area. <\/p>\n

\u00b7 One of the reasons attributed to lower investment inflow in the region is the absence of positioning and branding of Northern States as preferred investment destination. State from West and South are very proactive in branding themselves.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 In the Northern Region, some of the sectors which offer immense opportunity include agriculture and agro based industries; infrastructure projects including power; manufacturing especially auto and auto components, pharmaceuticals, textiles, chemicals, machinery and equipment manufacture, consumer products and services sector including tourism, IT & ITES, real estate, healthcare and education.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 The proposed Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridor are expected to play a catalytic role in changing the dynamics of manufacturing and infrastructure sector in the North, and may prove as game changer for the region. A substantial portion of these Corridors falls in the Northern States.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Along these Freight Corridors, two Industrial Corridors are proposed- Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and Amritsar Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC) are also being proposed.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 In the recent past, there have been a number of developments and policy initiatives setting the tone for high growth across the region. <\/p>\n

For example –<\/b>
\n\u00b7 Haryana and Delhi have revised their policies. Punjab recently came out with the new Industrial Promotion Policy 2013 offering host of incentives and reforms to attract investments.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Uttar Pradesh Government has taken several measures for the development of industrial sector with an investor friendly policy framework with thrust areas including agribusiness, IT\/ITes, biotech, food processing, handicrafts and tourism.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\u00b7 Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir are in the process of revising their industrial policies. <\/p>\n

\u00b7 Rajasthan and Uttarakhand in the region have introduced statutory Single Window System and an online electronic clearance mechanism for the time bound approvals for the investment proposals. Other states have also setup Single Window System as one-stop facilitation center for industries.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Recently, Government of Punjab has created a nodal agency, Punjab Bureau of Investment Promotion to function as Single Window System in the state. This agency is vested with powers to provide nearly 20 approvals\/ permissions to the businesses to set up their operations in the state.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 In addition, based upon the success of Project Monitoring Group (PMG) at the Government of India level, states in the region are also setting the same. To start with Uttarakhand, HP and Uttar Pradesh have set up PMG web portal for speedier clearance of the pending projects.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 As per UNCTAD survey on top host economies for FDI in 2011\u20132013 India ranks third in terms of FDI priority countries. Further, with the recent announcement to enhance the FDI limit in defense manufacturing and insurance sector to 49 per cent in the Union Budget 2014-15, India has a plethora of investment opportunities for the international investors.<\/p><\/div>\n
