Jammu & Kashmir's government held its first major stakeholder consultation on industrial policy and ease-of-doing-business reforms in Srinagar, bringing together industry chambers, tourism bodies, and cold-chain associations. Key industry groups submitted detailed proposals: the Federation of Chambers of Industries Kashmir (FCIK) outlined six policy pillars focusing on consolidation of existing industrial capacity, stronger public procurement, regulatory simplification, and balanced sectoral growth; the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce submitted a 12-point memorandum demanding complete digitization, infrastructure overhauls, NCSS scheme extension, and support for sick unit revival; the Confederation of Indian Industry raised concerns about portal reforms and logistics policy gaps. Government officials acknowledged submissions would receive consideration, but no binding commitments or timelines were announced.
