In order to tap the opportunities likely to be generated by the freight corridor, which is being developed by Ministry of Railways between Delhi and Mumbai covering a length of 1483 kms, a band of 150 kilometres on both sides was being developed as Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) covering the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra, said the spokesman adding that the DMIC Sub-Region in Haryana covered about 29,362 square kilometres area, which accounts for about 66.4 per cent of the total area of the State.  The HSIIDC had been made nodal agency for the development of various initiatives under the DMIC Project in Haryana.

He said, "The DMIC Consultants have submitted pre-feasibility reports for the early bird projects – Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre and Integrated Multimodal Logistics Hub. These projects would be implemented through a joint venture between HSIIDC and DMIC Trust/DMICDC. Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) from Gurgaon to Bawal would be implemented through a SPV, to be floated jointly by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC – agency of the State government) and DMIC Trust/DMICDC. Concept Master Plan of Manesar Bawal Investment Region (MBIR) has been finalized and the State Government has accorded Administrative Approval to the Concept Master Plan."

 " Initially  an area of 402 sq. km. would be taken up for development. The area available for development would be 265 sq. km. and the expected industrial output for planned industrial area within MBIR would be Rs. 2,50,000 crore in the year 2039. The projected employment generation is 1.6 million and population size is estimated at 3.19 million", he added.

The consortium selected IMT Manesar for a pilot initiative in this regard and pre-feasibility studies are underway."

Now it was proposed to construct single dwelling units and dormitory at industrial estates at Kundli, Rai, Barhi, IMT Rohtak, Faridabad and Manesar, Phase-II, out of which work for construction of Industrial Labour Housing at Kundli was in progress. Construction work at IMT Manesar Phase-II had also commenced.

 After getting good results in terms of flatted factory sheds that were constructed and allotted at Sector-59, Faridabad, the Corporation had decided to set up similar facility at IMT Rohtak, Kundli, Rai, Barhi, Udyog Vihar Gurgaon (Ph-VI) and Bahadurgarh. The work for flatted factories at industrial estate Rai was in progress. Fatted factories would accommodate small and tiny units and was expected to check the growth of industry in non-conforming areas. It would also facilitate the industry to reduce the lead time in setting up of the project besides huge investment on land and building, he added.
