The Goa Startup Policy, Agri Export Policy, and Information Technology Investment Policy have simplified eco-friendly industry regulations, according to Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai. Simpler land allotment and construction procedures, like single-window clearance, aim to boost revenue and jobs. Over 10,000 MSMEs registered online this fiscal year, and the Goa Investment Promotion Board approved new industrial units and expansions, expecting major investments and employment development.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant emphasized Goa's development beyond tourism to boost economic growth and opportunities. He highlighted the state's ambitious reforms and infrastructural development to ease business. Sawant urged investors to help Goa grow via collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

While the opposition wants local job reservations, Industries Minister Mauvin Godinho favors local hiring over outside help. He emphasized upskilling Goan youngsters for industrial occupations to lessen reliance on foreign labor. Goa's government seeks to balance investment with local employment to boost economic growth.
