The scope for horizontal growth is impossible and it is found that vertical growth is the only option left. Hence in order to support and meet the prime needs of new MSME units/ start-ups and to overcome the space constraint due to scarcity of land in the Industrial areas, a plug-and-play flatted factory is the only option left, it said.

The Government took cognizance of the situation and approved the project proposal of TANSIDCO for the construction of a Multistoried flatted factory complex.
