Concerned about the lack of industrialization in North India, the government is working on a blueprint to boost manufacturing in the region, with the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) anchoring the process.
The Centre is focusing on bridging the North-South divide by encouraging investments in underdeveloped northern states, promoting infrastructure development, and creating policies to foster an even spread of manufacturing, two people close to the matter said.
The ministry of micro, small, and medium enterprises and other departments concerned will hold a study of the industrialization of northern states to help in policymaking, said one of the two people on the condition of anonymity.
This development follows the department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT) finalizing a ₹10,037 crore programme for the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme, 2024 (Unnati-2024), for 10 years.
