RAJASTHAN STATE INDUSTRIAL POLICY

4. INFRASTRUCTURE

The overall approach towards the development and upgradation of infrastructure will be a combination of optimum utilisation of the State’s resources and involvement of the private sector. Specific measures will be taken to develop Sectoral Clusters taking into account the needs of the targetted industry.

Board of Infrastructure Development and Investment

The Board of Investment has been reconstituted as the Board of Infrastructure Development and Investment to ensure greater focus on industry – related infrastructure. It will ensure formulation of perspective plans for different regions, inter-sectoral co-ordination and effective monitoring for timely provision of facilities in industrial areas.

Project Development Corporation

Based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed with Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited (IL&FS) and Housing Development and Finance Corporation (HDFC) a Project Development Corporation(PDCOR) has been set up in the private sector, with equity participation by the State Government. The company will offer Investment Banking Reports on commercially profitable projects, tie up finances and offer projects for implementation to prospective investors.

Establishment of Business Centres

In important industrial areas of the State, establishment of Business Centres in the private sector will be encouraged. Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation Ltd.(RIICO) will provide land and/or buildings for these Centres where facilities like office and conference space, telephone, fax and photo copying facilities etc. would be available to entrepreneurs.

Special Industrial Complexes

S.No.	Sector	Location

Other Related Aspects

Efforts will be made to reduce project implementation time through provision of essential infrastructure facilities like roads, power, street lights and water supply. An industrial area will be declared as developed after these specific facilities have been provided. Service charges will be recovered only with effect from the date of declaration of the industrial area as developed. Missing links in the existing industrial areas would be identified and steps taken to provide the required facilities.

Efforts would be made to provide social infrastructure facilities like housing, schools, hospitals/dispensaries, shopping centres etc. in important industrial areas. Some of the industrial areas would be developed as industrial townships.

The Industrial Complexes being developed in the National Capital Region of the State would be further strengthened in terms of infrastructure facilities.

The entire belt around N.H.8 from Jaipur to Bhiwadi would be taken up for integrated industrial development. A blue print for development of industrial townships in this belt would be prepared keeping in view the increased flow of investments in this region.
