The Jammu and Kashmir ( J&K) administration is highlighting good quality air and low crime rate in the newly created Union Territory to attract investors.

As per the J&K Information Technology (IT) Policy 2020, the administration is offering an incentive to IT companies to operate in three-shifts and to facilitate women working during the night by providing transportation and security.

At least 15% of “plug and play” premises in designated IT parks will be reserved for women entrepreneurs, the policy says. The policy document says that J&K contributes only 0.1% of the total cognizable crimes under the Indian Penal Code.

The document, shared with investors, says that two IT parks with an area of 5,00,000 sq ft are being developed in Jammu and Srinagar, which will have “dedicated and uninterrupted broadband connectivity and WiFi access”.

Across 14 sectors

Investment opportunities in 14 sectors in the Union Territory were unveiled at an investor conference in the National Capital last month.
