Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said that his office would have a "chasing cell" to monitor the progress of various proposals, while presenting the features of the policy. The policy was announced in the presence of big businessmen like G M Rao, G V Krishna Reddy, B V Mohan Reddy and Yogi Deveshwar of the ITC Group.

"I want your (businessmen) blessings in taking Telangana forward as a business-friendly state," the CM said.

As per the new policy Telangana State Industrial Project Approval and Self-certification System (TS-iPASS), penal action will be taken against government officials if there is any undue delay in processing applications, the CM said, adding that mega projects would get permissions in 15 days.
