Jammu and Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah convened a high‑level meeting to scrutinise the draft Industrial Policy slated for the 2026‑2035 period. The session, held under the aegis of the state government, focused on key pillars such as investment promotion, MSME support, and infrastructure development.

Stakeholders from industry bodies, academia, and the bureaucracy were invited to provide feedback, ensuring the draft reflects ground realities. The government plans to incorporate constructive inputs before presenting the final version to the legislative assembly later this year.
