The CM also praised other incentives like the Rs. 90,000 crore aid to electricity supply companies of states, payment of Rs. 6,750 crore towards the EPF contribution of employees, and Rs. 30,000 crore aid for NBFCs.
He said the ‘no global tender’ policy for up to Rs. 200 crore would stimulate the growth of Indian companies.
