To bring rapid economic development through industrialisation, Telangana has initiated a new industrial policy to boost investment and industrial infrastructure. The Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd (TSIIC) has been at the forefront to achieve this task and has undertaken some major infrastructural projects in focused sectors. E Venkat Narasimha Reddy, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of TSIIC, in conversation with Biswajit Sahoo of Elets News Network (ENN) shares much more on existing and future plans.
In the recent ranking of ‘Ease of Doing Business’ Telangana stood first in the entire country. What is TSIIC’s vision to promote the industrial ecosystem?
Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) was established in 2014 as a State government undertaking for developing industrial infrastructure in the State. TSIIC has the mandate to develop industrial parks, industrial clusters, sector specific parks, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) etc to attract more investments.
To support the potential entrepreneurs, investors and expedite the industrial growth, TSIIC is identifying and developing potential growth centres in the State fully equipped with developed plots/sheds, roads, drainage, water, power and other infrastructural facilities. TSIIC is also providing social infrastructure like housing for workers near industrial zones, co-coordinating with the agencies concerned for providing communication, transport and other facilities.
TSIIC has created a large database of land bank to attract investors and develop focused industrial parks to boost industrialisation. How has been the response to such an innovative exercise?
TSIIC has so far developed 116 Industrial Parks and ensured basic amenities and industrial infrastructures for the entrepreneurs to start their business immediately in these parks. Apart from this, TSIIC has allotted land to about 500 industries in the last financial year. We are expecting investment of around Rs 1,000 crore in these industries which will provide direct and indirect employment to over 50,000 people.
Telangana is committed for clean environment in Hyderabad and has ordered to relocate polluting industries from inside the city zone, how TSIIC is facilitating the process?
As per the State government’s order, TSIIC is directed to initiate necessary action for relocating the polluting industries compulsorily from inside Outer Ring Road (ORR) to outside Outer Ring Road of Hyderabad. Non-polluting industries are also to be relocated with optional measures.
In this connection, TSIIC has actually identified 19 locations as land banks outside ORR within a distance of 100 km to make twin cities free from industrial pollution. Approximately 1,500 polluting industries would be shifted and relocated from existing inside ORR to outside of ORR.
TSIIC has different plans to develop industry specific parks across Telangana, what are these plans and how it will be facilitated?
As per the revised industrial policy of Telangana, TSIIC is developing industrial parks in all the districts of Telangana and decided to develop industrial clusters based on industrial demands and suitability of the geographical area for each industrial segment. We are also upgrading existing industrial parks and developing several clusters under MSE-CDP scheme of Government of India.
