He said hotel projects worth Rs 100 crore are eligible for financial assistance of up to Rs 30 crore. This initiative aims to develop world-class tourism infrastructure in the state, he said.
The CM said his government is actively working to expand the IT sector to smaller cities, and each sector has dedicated policies and support structures, according to the release.
