RCCI seeks more land for Khirasara GIDC
Rajkot: Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) has sought more land for the newly declared industrial estate at Khirasara GIDC.
Rajkot got sanction for Devgam-Khirasara industrial estate in Lodhika taluka after efforts of over a decade. In July 2018 the GIDC invited application from industrial players and started development of 97 hectare land.
The Khirasara GIDC is expected to be operational in 2021.
While the original plan was to set up the industrial estate in 341 hectare, the state government in 2018 allotted 97 hectare land as part of the first phase and assured more land in the next phase.
According to RCCI the GIDC received about 11,000 applications for the allotments of plots out of that only 471 plots have been allotted due to non-availability of land. Players engaged in small engineering parts, diesel engines, submersible pumps, auto components, casting and forging, kitchenware and hardware sector players have applied to get plots at Khirasara.
Vice president of RCCI Parth Ganatra said “Rajkot is a hub of engineering industries and there are many units willing to buy plots so we have requested government to develop the area surrounding Khirasara GIDC so that those left could be accommodated.”
According to rule, government gives price relaxation to those applicant who apply for less than 3,000 square meter plot. RCCI has also demanded to extend this benefit for those who want plot of 5,000 square meter, in order pass on more benefits to MSMEs.
