Vijayawada: NTR district collector Dr G. Lakshmisha on Saturday directed officials to expedite approvals for industrial projects and adopt the principle of “Speed of Doing Business” to promote investment and industrial growth in the district.
Chairing a meeting of the District Industries and Export Promotion Committee (DIEPC) at the collectorate, the collector reviewed industrial approvals, incentive claims and the implementation of industrial development schemes.
