In the Vidhan Sabha, Industries Minister Mukesh Agnihotri revealed that the Himachal Pradesh is framing a new industrial policy to attract more investments as 215 industrial units have closed down during the last five years.
He said that Govt was also looking into the reasons why the state has failed to attract investment. He claimed that government has identified shortcomings in the existing industrial policy and these would be overcome in the new one.
