## वाणिज् य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज् यमंत्री (श्री सी.आर. चौधरी) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI C.R. CHAUDHARY)

- (a): Yes  Madam,  Government  has  released  a  pilot  phase  report  on Industrial Park Rating System: enhancing industrial competitiveness at a National Workshop held on 19 th November, 2018 in New Delhi.
- (b) & (c): The  pilot  phase  of  Industrial  Park  Rating  System  (IPRS)  considered nominations received from States/ UTs and analysed the information/responses received to bring a view on quality and

adequacy of industrial infrastructure from Indian perspective. Nominated parks needed to have minimum 25% occupancy.

A total number of 202 industrial park nominations were received from 22  States/  UTs.  177  parks  out  of  the  202  nominated  parks  were considered for assessment. Response in respect to 25 parks nominated  by  States  was  incomplete.  177  industrial  parks  were assessed across 34 parameters under four pillars  contributing  to  the development  of  industrial  ecosystem  viz.,  Internal  Infrastructure  and Utilities,  External  Infrastructure  and  Connectivity,  Business  Support Services  &  Facilities  and  Environment  &  Safety  Management.  The details  of  34  parameters  considered  for  assessment  are  given  at Annexure-I.

The Industrial Park Rating System is expected to evolve to deliver the following objectives: (i) provide information to prospective tenants and compare parks on various choice of identified parameters (ii) enhance competitiveness of industrial parks and help identify areas of intervention (iii) recognize best practices and promote competitive spirit among  park  developers  and  operators  (d)  identify  requisite  policy support  to  be  delivered  by  state/  central  government  for  driving competitiveness of the ecosystem.

- (d) & (e): Department  of  Industrial  Policy  &  Promotion  has  also  developed Industrial  Information  System  (IIS)  portal,  a  GIS-enabled  database  of industrial  areas/clusters  across  the  country  to  adopt  a  committed approach  towards  resource  optimization,  industrial  up  gradation  and sustainability.  The portal serves as a one-stop solution to the free and easy  accessibility  of  all  industrial  information  including  availability  of raw  material  -  agriculture,  horticulture,  minerals,  natural  resources; distance from key logistic nodes; layers of terrain and urban infrastructure.  At  present,  the  database  covers  3355  parks/clusters covering  about  4.8  lakh  hectare  across  31  States/UTs.  Industrial Information System (IIS) aims at (i) GIS Mapping of Industrial Clusters (ii) Identification of availability of land inventory to function as Demand - Supply assessment tool (iii) Providing information about the existing External  and  Internal  Infrastructure  such  as  rail,  road,  air  and  port connectivity and other common facilities in and around the manufacturing  clusters (iv) Providing information about extent of utilization of a particular cluster/park.
