The Goa government on Saturday encouraged potential investors in the green industry to set up their shop in the state by offering them single window system and transparency for their money invested in Goa.

"Two things I can assure for the investors, that is, single window clearance and transparency from the government side. We will make sure that all the industry-related policies would be in place by August end," chief minister Manohar Parrikar told chief executive officers and industry captains at Goa Investment Forum 2012 held in Panaji on Saturday.

Parrikar held close-door meeting with more than 50 industry captains during the forum, where various proposals for the investment in the state were discussed.

He said the actual investment was not actually discussed but few industries came up with the proposals, which were presented during the interaction.

The Federation of Indian chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) had organised the forum, which is expected to showcase Goa as an attractive destination for investment in sectors like information technology (IT), IT enabled services, pharmaceuticals, bio-technology, light engineering, entertainment and tourism.

The companies like Esselworld, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Nestle, Bosch, Ranbaxy and others have participated in the forum.

Parrikar told the gathering that the policy guidelines for biotechnology, information technology and industrial policy are being finalised.

"All these policies would be ready by end of August," he said.
