Development of Trunk Infrastructure components and landscaping of Shendra Bidkin Industrial Area in Maharashtra in Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor project approved by the CCEA

MIDC has notified 101 sq km of area for industrial development under SBIA. The master plan covers an area of around 84.17 sq. km and the remaining area (approximately 15 percent) is intended for rehabilitation of the Project Affected Population (PAP).

The SBIA master plan area of 84.17 sq km is further split into two parts viz Part-I and Part-II. The Part -I consists of total area of 41.42 sq km, which is further divided into two parts viz Phase-I and phase-II. Phase -I covers an area of 8.39 sq km located north of Jalna Road adjoining existing MIDC Shendra Industrial Park.

Phase-ll includes the remaining area of 32.03 sq km located near Bidkin for which the preliminary design of roads and services is to be taken up shortly. The development of the Part-ll of SBIA consisting of total area of 42.75 sq km will be taken up at a later stage depending on the land made available by the State Government.

Investment in the development of trunk infrastructure is essential for the creation of a Greenfield smart industrial city. Phase-I of 8.39 sq km will kick start the development of the SBIA covering 84.17 sq km.

The development of the SBIA as a manufacturing hub will generate a series of direct and indirect benefits through enhancement of GDP, establishment of manufacturing industries and generation of significant employment. The development of Phase-I on sustainable and green building practices will create benchmarks for urban development in the country.

In essence, DMIC project is aimed at the development of futuristic Indian cities in India, which can compete with the best manufacturing and investment destinations in the world. The DMIC project is being implemented jointly by the Government of India and the respective State Governments.

Eight Investment Areas / Industrial Regions have been identified for development in the first phase of DMIC, across six states namely Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
