Guwahati, Feb 27 (TIWN) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday met with trade and industry representatives, economists and policy experts as part of her Budget outreach programme and said the northeast industries should have all required facilities.

In its submission to the minister, Federation of Industry and Commerce of North Eastern Region (Finer) said that the scheme has failed to boost the private sector investments in the region. 

"There were Industries that were coming in the region earlier under North East Industrial Investment Promotion Policy 2007 (NEIIPP) and North East Investment Policy (NEIP) but NEIDS has been a flop. Incentives are required in the region for boost industrialization," the letter read.
