Industries, Commerce and Public Enterprises Minister Bimal Borah formally unveiled the application module during an event held at Janata Bhawan. To back the growth of eligible manufacturing enterprises, authorities have allocated a dedicated corpus of Rs 500 crore, which will be utilized over a period of five years.
