The Rajasthan government has halted a customised incentive package for a company associated with IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal, according to a report in The Indian Express.
The state administration of Rajasthan announced that it is putting on hold a specially designed incentive package intended for a private firm that has ties to IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal. The decision was reported by The Indian Express, which cited an official source within the department handling the scheme.
The customised package was part of a broader effort by the state to attract investment and support select enterprises through tailored financial and regulatory benefits. Such schemes are typically offered to firms that meet specific criteria set by the government.
Officials said the suspension will remain in effect while the department reviews the firm’s eligibility and the nature of its connection to the IAS officer. No further details on the timeline or the next steps have been disclosed.
The move reflects heightened scrutiny over government incentives linked to public officials, aiming to ensure transparency and fairness in the allocation of state resources.
The Rajasthan government has not commented further on the matter, pending the outcome of its internal review.
