Our department will acquire 50,000 acres of land across the state. We will allot land to industrialists in real quick time and provide world-class facilities including water, power and roads," the minister said.Setting up more industries will help create more jobs for local people and solve the unemployment problem in the state," Nirani said.Emphasizing on taking industries beyond Bengaluru, the minister said industries will be promoted in tier 2 and tier 3 cities."We will encourage industries in tier 2 and tier 3 cities under the central government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat's scheme. Besides our government will also implement the 'One District One Product' policy soon which will help identify and promote a product in each district," he said.The industrialists involved in these products can get up to Rs 10 lakh per unit as credit-linked capital subsidy for 35 per cent of project cost," Nirani suggested.Pointing out another government's initiative to encourage balanced industrialization across the state, Minister mentioned special sops for cluster-based industrial parks."We have announced special concessions for each industrial cluster.
