FADA delegation meets Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to discuss business ease
The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) J&K discussed the CNG distribution network and skill development centres with the Chief Minister.
A delegation from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) J&K, led by Chairperson Sanjay Aggarwal, met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in Jammu on Sunday.
According to the Daily Excelsior, the meeting focused on Ease of Doing Business (EoDB), the CNG distribution network, and the establishment of an Automobile Skill Development Centre in Jammu & Kashmir.
Sanjay Aggarwal stated that FADA J&K represents approximately 310 automobile outlets, which provide employment to about 40,000 persons and generate around Rs 2,000 crore in revenue for the government.
Aggarwal raised concerns regarding the Trade Certificate, noting that dealers must currently submit a substantial number of documents, which he said hinders the application process.
He suggested that the documentation process for obtaining the certificate should be minimised, similar to the process in Punjab, to encourage fresh investment in the sector.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah acknowledged the contribution of the automobile dealership fraternity to economic growth and assured the delegation that the issues raised would be examined by the concerned departments.
