Three New Industrial belts to come up in MP's Machal, Chirakhan and Mohana districts

Bhopal, May 9 (KNN) In a bid to attract investment from large industries, the Madhya Pradesh Industries Department has proposed three new industrial belts in Machal, Chirakhan in Depalpur and Mohana districts of the state.

There is a proposal of setting up a food park on 100 acres of land in Machal in Depalpur Tehsil.

Talking to press, Kumar Purushottam, MD of Udhyogik Kendra Vikas Nigam (AKVN) said that the three industrial belts are being set in Indore targeting at economic prospects in the region.  The belt proposed for the Machal area will be made exclusively for the food manufacturing and allied industries whereas the other two industrial belts will be open for other industry.

The belts were initially set on the outskirts of the city, but the Industry Department observed that the industries fail to operate in isolated areas, therefore these proposed belts are being made keeping in mind the need of proper infrastructure and connectivity.

Purushottam also informed that the Chirakhan belt is proposed on 200 acres of land while the Mohana belt is proposed on 300 acres of land.

The Industry Department is looking forward to allot plots to large companies that require bigger land for setting up their industry. Also the Department is exploring the possibility of inviting automobile company to set their unit in the Mohana Industrial belt.

Earlier this year, the State outlined Rs 450 crores for the Industry Department in the annual budget. (KNN/ DA)
