Jaipur: Land rate for industry to be cheaper

Jaipur: The state government has revised the land rate for industry and made cheaper. The rate of land for setting up industry would now be calculated based on rate of agriculture land of a particular area instead of residential land.

To promote clean energy, it has decided to provide land at concessional rate to set up solar, wind and hybrid power projects. The government said the land for such power plants would only double of the price of agriculture land while that of other industries, it would be thrice the price of agriculture land. Chief minister Ashok Gehlot has given approval to the proposal to this effect by the finance department.
