He said that for greenfield investments of minimum Rs 300 crore and turnover of Rs 600 crore in first year, with 25 percent incremental turnover in next three to four years, will be given an incentive of 15 per cent in production.PHD Chamber's Industry Affairs Committee Chairman Sandeep Aggarwal, in his welcome remarks, stated that earlier Japan and the US were the largest producers of optical fibre, but now China produces more than 50 per cent because of various interventions undertaken by the government. Therefore, government support in investment and technology is crucial for boosting manufacturing, he said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
