The much-hyped North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (NEIIPP)-2007, which promised to ease the burden off the shoulders of the entrepreneurs by hiking the central capital investment subsidy from 15 per cent to 30 per cent, and that too without any limit, has instead left them in the lurch. As even after more than a year has passed since the NEIIPP-2007 was announced, the State Government has failed to formulate the operational guidelines for it.
