Greetings from GCCI!
We all must have started a new financial year with the better hopes and new business goals to achieve new heights in coming days.
In light of the introduction of amendments through latest notification, the Government has opened new path for the start-ups. Now start-ups will have easy access to funding which in turn will ensure ease in starting new business, encourage entrepreneurship leading to more job creation and economic growth in the country.
Shipping Ministry is in process of preparing “42-Point Agenda” to simplify Exim operation at Ports. Out of these, 20 amendments relate to exports and remaining 22 related to imports.
Our delegation had a video conference with Mr. Sanjay Bhatia, In-Charge Chairman of DPT on 09th April, 2018. We had strongly & effectively represented issues related to land of Gandhidham Complex and port related operational issues. There was positive response from the Chairman and we are hopeful for the resolution of pending issues.
Similarly, our delegation had also participated in Industrial & SWIFT meeting called by the Collector of Kutch followed by a meeting to review ATR in this regard.
Our vigorous campaign to highlight land issues of Gandhidham Township through press and media gave momentum to these long pending burning issues.
Your opinion and co-operation have always been crucial for the affairs of our Chamber and I look forward to your continuous support.
Hope, you will enjoy reading this E-Newsletter.
