Referring to the Vision 2023 document released by her recently, Jayalalithaa said: "My government is currently finalising a set of policy reforms that will translate my vision into reality."

Jayalalithaa said the government would soon announce industry-specific policies for automobiles, auto components, biotechnology, aerospace and renewable energy with special focus on solar power generation soon.

"The new industrial policy 2012 will accelerate the pace of growth of the manufacturing sector to 14 percent," she added.

She said the government was committed to improve the infrastructure network in the state by laying 2,000 km of six- and eight-lane expressways and 5,000 km of four-lane highways and providing 20,000 MW of power capacity before 2023.
