A significant policy milestone by India, as industrial ambitions are taking concrete shape. India's Union Cabinet has approved BHAVYA — committing ~USD $3.6 billion to establish 100 fully serviced and ready-to-use industrial parks nationwide, spanning manufacturing, logistics, and clean infrastructure. With pre-developed land, integrated utilities, and single-window clearances, the scheme signals a decisive shift in how India is positioning itself as a destination for global industrial investment.

An important update for our community. To ease the process for families during difficult times, the procedure for transportation of cremated remains (ashes) has now been liberalised. Any of the documents, viz. Death Certificate OR Statement of Death OR Form 16 (for Ontario residents) OR a Burial Permit shall henceforth be recognised as valid document for transportation of cremated remains (ashes) to India. Rest of the procedure remains the same. Previously, only a Death Certificate was accepted for transportation of cremated remains. Recognising that obtaining this document can be time-consuming for families during an already difficult time, the documents acceptance has been expanded. See more details at: cgitoronto.gov.in/page/transport… We remain committed to the welfare of our community and will continue to work towards making every process accessible and supportive. @HCI_Ottawa @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy @diaspora_india
