The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) has submitted a proposal for the development of industrial plots and a plug-and-play facility for the textile industry in the Indore district’s Barlai. In the current fiscal year, the corporation intends to start working on the textile industry in Barlai.
The shuttered Barlai sugar mill, located approximately 25 kilometres from Indore, together with a portion of the empty land nearby, totaling about 33 hectares, will be transformed into an industrial zone for the textile industry.
On 33 hectares, MPIDC intends to develop residential areas, commercial spaces, industrial plots, and a plug-and-play facility.
“We have sent a proposal for developing a textile cluster at Barlai sugar mill and hope to start the work in this financial year. As per the initial plan, the upcoming industrial belt will have a plug-and-play facility for industries wishing to move in a ready facility, plots for industries and residences. The idea is to create a proper ecosystem for industries,” said MPIDC executive director Sapna Jain.
According to the corporation, they have received expressions of interest from many industries for land at Barlai. “Many industries have shown interest in taking up land at Barlai. Given the proximity to Indore and availability of resources, we expect good occupancy in this industrial belt,” said Jain.
To entice industry investment, the industries department has been expanding new industrial zones in the area and renovating numerous old industrial belts.
