In a major relief to the food processing industry and renewable energy projects in the state, the Haryana government will provide them exemption in conversion charges and scrutiny fee.

The move will allow the government to exempt the renewable energy projects from conversion charges and scrutiny fee whereas the food processing units will be given 50 per cent concession in the conversion charges

FARMERS in drought-hit districts will get diesel subsidy of 500 per hectare, even as the Centre awaits bumper crop production for most key kharif crops including paddy, cotton, pulses, and sugarcane.

A good monsoon and prospects of a good kharif and rabi should have a sobering effect on food prices, still in excess of 15%.
