FOKIA (Company regd.under Section-25) AT GLANCE

  The FOKIA was established in August 2000 with following four objectives;

  1. To increase the pace of socio-economical and enviorental development of Kutch
  2. To explore the avenues of industrial development in Kutch.
  3. To address the policy related issues of the industries in Kutch.
  4. To demolish inspector raj

It is the only organization dedicated exclusively for the industrial issues

  The devastating earthquake in 2001 shattered the industries in the area and caused heavy loss to the assets and production.

FOKIA bridged the gap between shattered industries and then Industrial Minister, Honorable Sureshchandra Mehta for the rejuvenation of the industrial units.

This made the state government to declare very generous rejuvenation scheme for the industries. 

  Post earth quake 2001, for the economical rejuvenation of the Kutch’s economy, FOKIA represented successfully to the state and central government for the fiscal incentives to the industries in Kutch.

  FOKIA on 17th August 2001, met the Hon. Prime Minister Atalbihari Vajpayee to represent the issue of inclusion of existing industries for excise exemption.

  FOKIA represented to Gujarat Government in 2002 for removal of discrepancy in sales tax notification, which resulted in exemption of the sales tax on second sales.

  FOKIA, in February 2004 successfully represented the case for extension of time limit under the leadership of Hon. M. P. Mr. Pushpdan Gadhvi and met than Dy. Prime Minister Advaniji & Fin. Minister Jashwantsinghji, and got the extension up to Dec 2005.

  FOKIA held meeting with GAIL for the availability of Gas to the industries in Kutch.

  FOKIA, GCCI & KDC jointly organized a seminar for the industries in Kutch in September 2005.

  In November 2005, FOKIA got the success in removing discrepancies in the sales tax notification issued by different government departments. (FOR MORE DETAILS, PLEASE REFER  MEETING SEMINAR HIGHLIGHT)
