Even after a decade, Nashik awaits inclusion under DMIC
Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation
(MIDC) to include Nashik in the second phase of
Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor
(DMIC) project.
A delegation of Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association (AIMA), led by its president Ashish Nahar, recently met MIDC CEO P Velarasu in Mumbai and urged him to make efforts to include Nashik at least in the second phase of DMIC project. Velarasu assured the delegation that he would make all efforts to include Nashik in the second phase of DMIC.
Nahar said they held talks with MIDC CEO Velarasu on various industry-related issues. "We requested him to make efforts for inclusion of Nashik in the second phase of DMIC project," he said. "We are also planning to meet Union minister of commerce and industries Piyush Goyal and request him to include Nashik in DMIC project," added Nahar.
The DMIC project seeks to create a strong economic base with a globally competitive environment and state-of-the-art infrastructure to activate local commerce, enhance investments, and attain sustainable development.
In 2013-14, Nashik was not included in the first phase of DMIC primarily due to concerns raised by the state's water resources department about the availability of water for industrial use, despite the district having numerous dams. The Water Resources Department expressed its inability to reserve water in the dams for the project. The provision of 24 million litres per day (MLD) of water was required for the second phase. Nashik was excluded from the first phase due to the report by WRD, but Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar was included in the first phase at that time.
Even after a decade, Nashik is still awaiting its
inclusion in DMIC
project, even though industrial organisations have been making efforts by pursuing the state govt for inclusion in the second phase of the project.
"Nashik has significant potential in manufacturing, agriculture, and food processing. If Nashik is included in the second phase of DMIC, it would boost industrial growth, attract largescale investments, and create employment opportunities," said Manish Rawal, vice-president, NIMA.
