Rajeev Bansal Presents Key Industrial Issues to UP MSME Minister Rakesh Sachan
In a significant move to strengthen the voice of Uttar Pradesh’s industrial community, Mr. Rajeev Bansal, National Vice President of the Indian Industries Association (IIA), met with Hon’ble Minister for MSME & Export Promotion, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Rakesh Sachan, and presented a detailed memorandum addressing critical challenges faced by industries across the state.
During the meeting, Mr. Bansal highlighted pressing issues surrounding leasehold industrial land, the existing allotment policy, and the e-auction process for industrial plots. He emphasized that while the government’s intent to promote transparency and ease of doing business is widely appreciated, certain procedural and policy-level hurdles are creating bottlenecks for existing as well as upcoming MSME units.
The memorandum sought the Minister’s kind intervention to review and reform the current framework so that industrial entrepreneurs can operate and expand without unnecessary administrative burdens. Mr. Bansal pointed out that leasehold complications often delay financing and project execution, while the existing allotment and e-auction systems sometimes fail to accommodate the realities of small and medium enterprises struggling with post-pandemic recovery.
Shri Rakesh Sachan, who has been at the forefront of industrial and MSME development initiatives in Uttar Pradesh, assured that the government is committed to addressing genuine concerns of the industrial fraternity. He appreciated IIA’s proactive role in representing the interests of industries and promised that the matter would be taken up with due seriousness to arrive at practical and growth-oriented solutions.
The meeting underscored the collaborative relationship between industry and government, reflecting a shared vision for transforming Uttar Pradesh into a leading industrial hub. With sustained dialogue and policy support, MSMEs—the backbone of the state’s economic engine—are expected to gain renewed momentum for growth and global competitiveness.
