The Minister said “we had a good discussion on many matters one is related to industry and second about manufacturing policy. I think we are in a position now to move forward for taking final view in the matter."
The two Ministers also discussed the issue raised during the recent industry consultations by Shri Sharma. The industry consultations threw up the issue of CSR initiatives being mandatory for environment clearances. Both the Ministers agreed that the issue merits a fresh look.

It may be noted that last week Shri Sharma met the industry leaders and the consultations brought out the industry concerns over the environmental issues. Read the full report here.
