The approval granted by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to establish an eco-friendly industrial hub at Rani Khera in northwest Delhi marks a significant step towards generating new employment opportunities within the capital. The proposal encompasses the development of a 147-acre industrial hub, a decision welcomed as a means to bolster the local economy.
This initiative, sanctioned by the Delhi government and entrusted to the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), aims to create a sustainable industrial complex. Emphasizing eco-friendliness, the hub will predominantly cater to service industries such as Information Technology (IT), Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES), and research-based enterprises.
Land acquisition from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for this purpose underscores the government’s commitment to fostering a modern, environmentally conscious business environment. The provision of land at concessional rates for industrial setup is expected to pave the way for both direct and indirect employment opportunities, benefiting thousands of individuals.
Prioritizing industries aligned with eco-friendly practices and pollution-free operations, the project emphasizes the adherence to stringent pollution standards. The proposed development will occur in two phases, with a focus on creating an integrated IT park encompassing various pollution-free industrial units.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has underscored the importance of timely completion and adherence to set development milestones, emphasizing the pivotal role this industrial hub will play in transforming Delhi into a manufacturing and innovation center.
This effort aligns with the government’s broader objective of facilitating accessible and quality employment opportunities for Delhi’s residents. Despite past obstacles, the recent approval to acquire land signifies a pivotal milestone in overcoming challenges associated with the project’s realization.
The government’s vision for the industrial hub emphasizes its role in not just fostering business growth but also in promoting sustainable practices and technological innovation. The proposal’s progress to the Lieutenant Governor’s desk indicates the impending commencement of further actions, signaling the imminent launch of development activities aimed at creating numerous job prospects.
