UP infrastructure woes: Noida industrialists to shift to Gujarat
18 Aug, 2012, 0925 hrs IST, Ayaskant Das, TNN
NOIDA: Industrialists in Noida, who had warned Uttar Pradesh's
Samajwadi Party government that they would move out if infrastructure
was not improved, have now approached the Gujarat government for land to
set up their industries in the state.
The Noida Entrepreneurs'
Association has written to the Narendra Modi government asking it to
provide them plots in Mehsana district so that they could begin
industrial operations within two years.
The association says it
has taken this step because infrastructure facilities continue to be
bad in Uttar Pradesh with no sign of improvement. "Even the big names...
like Tata and Maruti have shifted base to Gujarat because the
government has built an excellent environment in the state for
industrial development," said NEA president Vipin Malhan.
Industrialists in Noida have complained several times in the past about
the "lackadaisical attitude" of successive UP governments in meeting
basic requirements for the industrial sector to flourish. Primary among
their demands have been supply of power round the clock to ensure
optimum productivity. "Far from it, government is now mulling hiking
power tariffs for industries," said Malhan.
While erratic power
supply has cut into the profits of industries in UP, Gujarat has
attracted them with lower power tariffs. NEA has requested the Gujarat
government to make available to them industrial plots ranging between
1,000 and 5,000 sqm in the Mehsana district at government-approved
rates. "If land is provided to us, we will work towards completing all
formalities within the next two years to make industries operational I
mmediately thereafter," he added
