NITI Ayog Found DMICDC, RIL SEZs, Dholera, GIFT – All Scams
It took 12 years for GoG and GoI to realize Dholera, GIFT, DMICDC, RIL-SEZs and Industrial Parks, Food Parks etc are all Land Grabs nothing else. There is no place for Dullards like Amitabh Kant or Arvind Panagriya in any AYOG.
SEZ idea in 99% cases was FRAUD when Value Additions were not even 10%.
I remember Sanjay Gandhi in 1973 acquired 100 acres of farmland to set up Maruti Car Project on Delhi-Haryana border, Suzuki Motors established factory on its site.
So it was never required to put up Factories in Industrial Estates located in cities on premium land.
Small Units were given so many concessions and Tax Breaks – locating Small/Medium Units in Industrial Estates meant no advantage.
Punjab & Haryana were largely electrified in 1970, 11 KV lines came up in every village – 11KV, 33KV, 66KV, 110KV lines were everywhere in India because most Indian towns particularly district headquarters were electrified before 1970.
Industrial Estates in Cities a. Made Indian Industry Uncompetitive, b. Polluted Cities, c. Traffic Problems and Clogging Highways, d. Fluctuating Power Supply, e. Slums and Contaminated Ground Water, Rivers.
An IITian failed twice in running a ‘LPG Cylinder Unit’ in Daruhera in Haryana and a ‘Mentha Oil Refinery’* in Sikandra, UP. Size of Industrial Plot was 5-10 times than required and costly, High Cost Labor, Electricity, Generators, operating from Delhi – the Indirect Operational Costs were many times Production Cost. *Mentha Refinery Unit was 1.5m in diameter & 2m-3m high but plot size was 2000 sq.mt.
India should MAXIMIZE investment in Plant & Machinery and MINIMIZE on Land, Building, Administrative Setup. Instead of –
Ø 2500-15,000 TPD Sugar Mill it is economical to have 1000 TPD Sugar Mills,
Ø 300-1000 TPD Rice Mill, to 10 TPD Rice Mill in every paddy growing village,
Ø 1 million LPD Milk Plant, to a 10,000 LPD Milk Plant every 3rd village.
Ø 200 TPD Flour Mill, to 5-20 TPD Flour Mill in every village.
Ø 650 TPD PEPSI Factory, to 20-50 TPD Food Processing Units in every village.
Ø Small & Medium non Polluting Factories in rural areas.
Ø Even in matters of Affluent Treatment Plant – it is economical to have small purpose built ATP than Common ATP.
Ø Almost all Industrial Estates like Mayapuri, Okhla, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Chandigarh are well within cities could be moved to Free Zones.
Ø R&D CENTERS CAN COME UP ANYWHERE – ROOFTOP, GARAGE TO WORKSHOP.
