Industrial Policy States - West Bengal WBSIDC plans to set up 40 industrial estates
Our Bureau Kolkata, July 24 West Bengal Small Industries Development Corporation (WBSIDC) plans to set up nearly 40 industrial estates for small scale industries (SSIs) over the next two years, according to Mr Moinul Hassan, Chairman, WBSIDC. “We are trying our best to develop industrial estates for SSI units in the State. Currently, there are about 25 multi-product industrial estates in the State. But this number is insufficient. We plan to develop another 40 estates over the next two years,” Mr Hassan said at a seminar on ‘Indian small scale industry at the crossroads’ organised by the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce. On investment, Mr Hassan said the proposed estates would attract investment of Rs 15-30 crore per estate depending on their size. They would vary between 15-200 acres. WBSIDC would seek Centre’s assistance to fund these projects. They would house SSI units from different industries, including leather, jute, silk, jewellery, food processing and toy making. WBSIDC will develop four jute parks including three mini jute parks in Cooch Behar, Murshidabad and North Dinajpur and one large jute park, of about 400 acres, in Haringhata. According to Mr Hassan, Cooch Behar in North Bengal is the “thrust area” for WBSIDC, where the corporation has recently acquired nearly 50 acres.
