Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Saturday launched the state's first 'Cinematic Tourism Policy-2022' in order to promote and develop an ecosystem for film production industries and to stimulate the tourism economy.
The policy aims to attract investment, facilitate development of film infrastructure, and enhance entrepreneurial opportunity and employability of youth in the film production industry, stated the document released by CM Patel in the presence of film actor Ajay
Devgn.
It seeks to simplify the administrative processes and develop an ecosystem for the growth of film-related infrastructure through public-private participation, the policy document added.
"The government will provide financial incentives to feature films, documentary films, brand affiliations, web and TV series and documentaries in all languages at 25 per cent of eligible expenses of production or a given maximum limit after they meet set criteria," it said.
