Asserting that Delhi’s economy is mainly based on service industry, he said, hi-tech and service industry will be provided space at cheaper rates in industrial areas. In service industry category, chartered accountants and lawyers can also open their offices, which currently fall under office category in Delhi’s Master Plan. That is why they were only allowed in commerical areas, the chief minister said.
