Process Safety in India -PCPIR's

To promote investment in the chemical sector and make the country an important hub for both domestic and international markets, the government is in the process of setting up Petroleum, Chemicals & Petrochemical Investment Regions (PCPIRs). As per the PCPIR policy ,this is to "attract major investment, both domestic and foreign, by providing a transparent and investment friendly policy and facility regime.These PCPIRs would reap the benefits of co-siting, networking and greater efficiency through the use of common infrastructure and support services. They would have high-class infrastructure, and provide a competitive environment conducive for setting up businesses. They would thus result in a boost to manufacturing, augmentation of exports and generation of employment".
Isn't the setting up of these PCPIR's a good opportunity for the Government to implement mandatory process safety norms in these PCPIR's?
