Hyderabad, Oct 6 (KNN) With the view to initiate decongestion of the newly formed Telangana state’s capital, the state government has relocated over 150 electroplating units in Balanagar Industrial Area to Automotive Industrial Park in Toopran, Medak district.
The electroplating units in Balanagar were found to be releasing effluents into the Kukatpally Nala, which in turn flows into the Hussain Sagar.
According to a media report, Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) chief general manager (AM) Vijay A Deshmukh said, “An area of 25 acre at the Industrial Park in Toopran is being developed to include the entire essential infrastructure including a separate power line, water supply, treatment plant, roads and connectivity to the city.”
TSIIC, Zonal Manager, P Nageshwar Rao said that over 150 electroplating units have already applied for land in Toopran and many more are in the process of applying.
Meanwhile, according to the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) official, several electroplating industries were issued closure notice for violating pollution control norms as they directly released effluents into the Nala, the media report added.
Similarly, the Sanathnagar industrial area, which is the hub for several small scale industries, is slowing turning into a commercial spot with the relocation of the industry. Sanathnagar industrial area houses several precision engineering work units, steel industries amongst others.
TSIIC officials said that over 50 per cent of industries in the Sanathnagar area have already been relocated. “Samuha Engineering industries have been given over 200 acre of land in Adibatla village in Ranga Reddy district while Tata Company has been given about 50 acre,” he said. (KNN Bureau)
