Three industrial corridors in Telangana
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government, which has unveiled its new industrial policy, is planning to develop industries not only in and around Hyderabad but also in the remaining districts of the state. In the industrial policy framework prepared by the government, it has mentioned conceptual plan for development of districts too.
The government intends to develop industrial corridors. The headquarters of each district will be connected by high- speed rail and road network.
The presence of important national and state highways, coupled with the availability of resources and opportunities, provides a great potential for development of industrial corridors in the state along these roadways.
The corridors will be modelled on Special Investment Zones like the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and the Vizag-Kakinada Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR).
While the available government lands will be utilised to spark industrial activities in the corridor, the privately-held lands will also be regulated through special zoning regulations so that the desired growth of industries and support facilities can materialise.
The state government will take up the development of industrial corridors on roadways linking Hyderabad to Warangal on a priority basis. Subsequently, other corridors will be identified on similar lines and detailed studies will be conducted to prepare a master plan for each corridor. Ultimately, each district headquarters of the state will be connected by high-speed rail and road network.
The intention is to create at least two core sector specific industrial parks for each sector. This will ensure that the benefits of industrialisation will reach every district of the state which will have two or more industrial parks.
In addition, district wise industry potential plans at the MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) level will be prepared, utilising the natural resources available in each district. These sector-specific industrial parks will be located in the influence areas of the industrial corridors.
