The Commerce and Industries Department of Chhattisgarh on Thursday issued a notification reserving 10 percent industrial lands in the state for the Other Backward Class (OBC).
The notification followed an announcement by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in his Independence Day speech.
An amendment in the Industrial Policy 2019-24 has been done for the reservation.
Apart from reservation of land, the land premium rate has also been curtailed 10 percent for the OBCs.
The reservation would be given to industrial lands of the Industries Department and of the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corp Ltd (CSIDC), the notification said.
