HP drafting new industrial policy with focus on green industries, food processing, defence corridor; energy-intensive units to be discouraged: Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan
Jul 15, 2026
"Our thrust is on green industries and those sectors that generate maximum employment. Industries that consume excessive electricity and water, such as steel and ethanol plants, will be discouraged under the new policy. Instead, we will promote food processing industries and enterprises based on Himachal's local products," Chauhan said.
