CHANDIGARH, NOV 28

Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has allotted more than 4,100 industrial plots or sheds   during the last about seven years and these would catalyse an investment of about Rs. 40,000 crore.

          While stating this here today, a spokesman of the HSIIDC said that as there was reservation for physically handicapped persons in industrial plots,  there was preferential allotment of up to two per cent  of the plots or sheds in each Estate to persons with disabilities.

He said that during the last about seven years, the State has received investment  to the tune of Rs. 61,000 crore. Further investment  to the tune of Rs.97,000 crore is in pipeline.

      He said that a Foreign Investment and  NRI Cell has been created for providing guidance and advisory services for attracting foreign investment to the State and address  the problems faced by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)  or Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) relating to property, marital discord and law and order. An Advisory Committee has been constituted at the apex level under the chairmanship of   Chief Minister, Haryana to consider related matters.

      He said that the HSIIDC, being the nodal agency of the State Government for development of industrial Infrastructure, is responsible for laying down its Estate Management Procedures in tandem with the industrial Policy. As such, the HSIIDC revised its Estate Management Procedures simultaneously, known as the EMP-2011 and effective from  January 1,2011.

      He said that the threshold limits for fixed capital investments for the ‘prestigious projects’ have been rationalised to boost investment in relatively backward - category ‘B’ and ‘C’ industrial estates. As against the earlier uniform criterion of fixed capital investment of Rs. 30  crore for all industrial estates, the revised threshold limit in category ‘B’ and ‘C’ industrial estates would be Rs. 20 crore and Rs. 10 crore respectively.

      Wherever transfer of a plot is permissible, no Transfer fee will be charged for the second and subsequent transfers of plots allotted in the Industrial Estates developed by the HSIIDC.Wherever permissible, the leasing fee will be payable only once irrespective of the period of lease and would be charged at a rate of 50 per cent of the fee applicable for the first transfer. There will be no restriction on the number of leases in a premises, subject to strict enforcement of permissible use or activity for the premises.It has been decided to permit provision of subsidiary supporting facilities likle  canteen, gym, common entertainment facilities within the industrial plots without any additional charge, solely for the captive use of employees or workers in an industrial unit. The area so earmarked or  used for these facilities shall not exceed  four per cent  of the total permissible covered area.
