State energy minister Saurabh Patel said, “Because of the Covid-19 impact, CM Vijay Rupani has decided to extend till December 31, the solar power policy and all other policies. The decision was taken under the Rs 14,000 crore atmanirbhar package.”
Patel added that the decision will boost the business environment and attract investment in solar, renewable, MSME and other sectors in state.
The first extension period of the existing industrial policy ended on June 30, which has now been further extended to December 31, 2020. Likewise, the tourism policy and other policies of the state government have also been extended till the year-end.
Gujarat government has decided to put all draft new policies on hold and extend the terms of all existing policies and incentives to December 31, 2020.
The existing policies like the industrial policy, solar power policy, tourism policy and others will stay in force until December 31 this year.
