- (c) to (f): Government developed the Industrial Information System (IIS), an open web  portal, to assimilate information of industrial infrastructure of clusters,  parks,  nodes,  zones  etc.  across  the  country.   The  Industrial Information System has evolved into a National GIS enabled Land Bank, also  referred  to  as  the  India  Industrial  Land  Bank  by  integrating  GIS enabled  industrial  systems  of  States  and  UTs  with  the  IIS  portal.   For this,  Government  agencies  are  provided  with  unique  User  ID  and password to upload the land details.

The  IIS  portal  has  information  on  approximately  4000  industrial  parks mapped across 5.5 lakh hectare of area with GIS layers on raw material availability,  nodal  points  of  connectivity,  internal  utilities  and  natural terrain including forest & drainage.

So far  GIS  Systems  of 13  States  in  two  phases  have  been  integrated with IIS to provide updates on land availability and plot level information, connectivity thereto, basic facilities, other facilities available and contact details of authorities/developer of the park. This information is accessible to investors anywhere in the world on real time basis which helps them in making informed decisions. The plot level information of industrial plotssector/line  of  activity,  availability  status  of  plot,  size  of  plot,  contact details  of  relevant  officer,  etc  is  GIS  enabled.  This  information  is  now updated on real time basis for 1539 industrial parks mapped across 4.97 lakh hectare of area across 13 States.  The State-wise details of these 1539  industrial zones/parks  /clusters mapped  on  the  portal is at Annexure-II .

The investors/users can go to https://iis.ncog.gov.in/parks/login1 and use 'Explore  Parks'  tab  to  see  the  information  available  on  the  portal.   A mobile application has also been launched on Android and iOS stores for the ease of accessibility to investors/users.
