The severe climatic conditions topographical and geographical severities throw challenges in the process of industrialization. In such a scenario, the benefits in the form of incentives and subsidies as well as the development of appropriate infrastructure become the main instruments to attract industrial investment in the State.

3 Though industrialization in the State has not been able to gather momentum as compared to the neighbouring states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttrakhand, yet with investment in infrastructural facilities, the state has been able to offset the locational and geographical disadvantages to considerable extent. The industrial sector in the state has entered the take off stage with a well diversified base of industries ranging from rural and traditional Handloom and Handicrafts, Cottage, Micro and SSI units to High-tech Textile, Telecommunication equipment, sophisticated Electronic units, Pharmaceuticals, Engineering, High Quality Precision Tools, Food Processing industries etc.

4 The department of Industries is implementing various GOVERNMENT policies & programmes under different acts, rules, regulations, instructions and acts. There are four wings of the department , viz., Industrial development Wing, Store Purchase Organisation, Geological Wing and Sericulture Wing. This compilation of different acts, rules, regulations, instructions and acts would be consulted as the Office Manual for guiding the working of the department . I hope that the department will make a constant endeavour to update this manual on regular basis.

5 Efforts put in by the department to bring out this manual are appreciated. Ajay Tyagi, IAS Principal Secretary (Industries & IT) to the GOVERNMENT of HIMACHAL PRADESH . Office Manual, department of Industries department of Industries, Govt. of HIMACHAL PRADESH Page 4 PREFACE Documentation for Posterity HIMACHAL PRADESH geographically consists of diverse terrains, ranging from the plains to the high-rise mountains and thus has varied climatic zones. The State is endowed with very rich natural resources as a result of which we find tourism flourishing in the lush valleys of Kangra, Kullu, Shimla & Mandi Districts, alongwith the traditional Handloom / Handicrafts, Animal Husbandry, Horticultural and Agricultural activities in the State.

6 The natural resources like mineral deposits and the identified hydel potential of over 20,000 MW for hydropower generation is generating a lot of trade and economic activities in the State. The State offers distinct comparative advantage to industrial units, tourism and power projects. Factors like low cost quality power, harmonious industrial relations, low cost of land and clean environment, investor friendly administration, attractive incentives and tax concessions- all contribute towards creating a healthy investment climate in our State.

7 With liberalization of the Indian economy, scientific exploitation of our industries, tourism and power potential have been identified as our thrust areas. Direct Foreign Investment (FDI) and exporting units have been accorded priority in our Industrial Policy. During the last few years, industrialization in the State of has made significant progress. The Share of industries and Services Sector respectively has increased from & percent in 1950-51 to & percent in 1967-68 and to and 13 percent in 2010-11.

8 Upto 31st March, 2011 the state had 37364 Small Scale and 471 Medium & Large Scale industrial units registered with the Industries department with total investment of about Rs. Crore and employment of about lac people. This growth in industrial sector could be achieved only because of forward looking Industrial Policies and its proper implementation by the employees of the department . The compilation of various rules, regulations, instructions and acts will provide a document to the public, entrepreneurs, industrialists and to the employees of the department , a reference book for posterity to execute the GOVERNMENT plans properly.

9 We hope that the efforts that have been put in to bring out the Office Manual will go a long way in improving efficiency of the department specially in providing good & responsive administration for the benefit of the public.
