Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 7 (UNI) The Single Window Act in Kerala will be soon amended to provide immediate clearance for starting industries, State Industries Minister Elamaram Kareem said today.
Talking to media here, he said of the 1,160 applications received for starting industrial units, 1,142 had been cleared through the system.
Mr Kareem said all possible assistance would be extended to those who came forward with viable industrial projects.
Claiming that the state had a favourable situation to attract more investment in the industrial sector and also for the growth of existing units, he said the government was making all-out efforts to create more employment opportunities.
Public Sector Units in the state would cooperate with Central PSUs to start joint ventures.
Mr Kareem said the National Thermal Power Corporation had approached the state government for a tie-up with the Transformers and Electricals (Kerala) Limited (TELK) to manufacture and sell transformers.
The objective was to upgrade TELK to the standard of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
A formal agreement in this regard had been reached, he said, adding, the valuation procedures were going on and a final decision was expected in this regard at the earliest.
Mr Kareem said the state-owned Autocast at Cherthala would produce wagon components for the Railways.
Earlier, he announced awards for outstanding Small Scale Industries.
