Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh assembly on Tuesday passed three key bills aimed at facilitating the growth of MSMEs, strengthening fire and emergency services and promoting planned development around airports in the state.
The bills were passed by voice vote after being introduced and taken up for deliberations in the House.
Industries Minister Nyato Dukam presented the Arunachal Pradesh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Facilitation, Establishment and Operation) Bill, 2026, which seeks to create a more facilitative environment for setting up and operating MSMEs in the state.
The proposed legislation provides for exemption from certain approvals and inspections for MSMEs, with the objective of promoting inclusive economic growth, generating employment and encouraging entrepreneurship.
The Bill, however, seeks to retain existing safeguards relating to public health and safety, tribal land rights, forest laws and labour welfare.
Home Minister Mama Natung introduced the Arunachal Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services (Amendment) Bill. The legislation seeks to amend provisions of the existing Fire and Emergency Services law, particularly those relating to references to the National Building Code.
The Arunachal Pradesh Airport Area Development Authority Bill was presented by Urban Affairs Minister Balo Raja. It proposes to establish an authority for planned development of the new township around Hollongi Airport.
The authority will be responsible for planning, coordination, execution, supervision and financing of township development in the airport area, besides managing and supervising urban services.
The legislation also seeks to facilitate infrastructure development and the upgradation of existing facilities in and around airports in the state.
