“We are immensely committed to make Delhi a world class city and sustain the double digit growth rate of 11.4% that Delhi has clocked for the last decade through facilitative investor friendly policies. This is possible, if and only if industry supports and partners with us in our initiatives and projects, essentially low cost housing, which would help us make Delhi slum-free in next 2-3 years,” Dikshit added.
While emphasizing the importance of integrated development of NCR region, Dikshit said, “Since land is a major constraint in the development of Manufacturing in Delhi, we are continuously striving to enhance the communication channels from Delhi to other nearby cities like Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad etc.”
“Due to lack of space, Manufacturing is not feasible here, so our thrust is now on development and growth of IT & ITeS, knowledge based and Services Sector so as to increase Delhi’s share in India’s GDP & Exports. An Integrated Services hub at Baprola is one such initiative. Government of Delhi is focused on development of key sectors on the PPP model,” the minister further highlighted.
