Mumbai: Maharashtra
will become free of load-shedding by the end of 2012 if everything
goes as per plan, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan
said at an event here Tuesday.
Chavan was speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry's (CII)
Fourth Meeting of the National Council here.
At the event, Chavan also spoke about his focus for the state:
manufacturing, quality of education, water, power, innovation and
research and development, among others.
"My biggest challenge is achieving uniform growth and removing
regional imbalance," he said.
Speaking about challenges for the state, Chavan said Maharashtra
is the only state which still has octroi. "Plans are on to shift
to accounts-based levy, local body tax. By the end of this year we
would move away from octroi completely," he said.
On e-governance, the chief minister announced that the state would
be soon moving toward a single window e-portal wherein one can
track all applications online. He added that dual transaction
issues would be sorted out.
