Gujarat is the first state to privatize
the ports sector. The rate at which this sector
is developing in the state is exemplary. In Information
Technology too, the state is a front ranker. The
administration is made more effective and speedy
through e-governance, making settlement of issues
faster. Agricultural Export Zones (AEZs) are being
set up. Gujarat holds promise of laying the foundation
for biotechnology, bio-informatics and industrial
biotechnology.
People use LPG in towns and coal
and wood as fuel in villages. The government is
laying a gas-grid in the state to provide on-tape
gas to households, to be linked to onshore gas
fields and two LNG Terminals being set up at Dahej
and Hazira.
Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation
(GSPC) has embarked on oil and gas exploration
under NELP in new fields in collaboration with
Multi-National Corporations. The LNG production
in new fields is likely to begin in December 2003. |
