The government is making this product the identity of the district — clusters, training, marketing and export support go to it first. Starting a business in this product is often the easiest route.

The state policy zone list does not name this district — either the state does not use zones, or zones go by block/tehsil. Ask the District Industries Centre (DIC) for the zone of your block.
