She encouraged investors to share their project proposals and observations with the Board of Investment (BOI) for further coordination on matters of importance. A large number of investors and members of the business fraternity reached out to Board of Investment with their queries and expressed gratitude for being given the opportunity to directly contact the Secretary.

They also appreciated the BOI team for timely resolution of complaints and facilitating investors in every possible way. Local and foreign investors came forward with a wide range of issues and suggestions including obtaining business visas, tourism policy, investment in sectors such as petroleum, minerals and mining, livestock, etc. Focus of the E-Kachehry was to address issues pertaining to investors including Ease of Doing Business (EoDB), Foreign Investment, Special Economic Zones (SEZ), Work Visas, establishing company branch/liaison office and other areas relevant to BOI’s mandate.
