## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a) to (c): Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been implementing Mega Food Park (MFP) Scheme to provide modern infrastructure facilities for food processing industries along the value chain from farm to the market. As per the scheme guidelines, time schedule for completion of Mega Food Park projects is 30 months from the date of issue of final approval letter.

Ministry has accorded final approval to 39 Mega Food Parks and in-principle approval to 2 Mega Food Parks in the country. Out of these, 22 projects are operational and remaining are under various stages of implementation. The status of 41 Mega Food Park Projects, state wise, is at Annexure.

The implementation of Mega Food Park projects has taken time due to delay in grant of statutory clearances by the State Government including Pollution Control consents, changes in approved project cost and components midway -Revision in DPR, Changes in shareholding and bank approval thereon, less focus on completion of PPCs & attracting units in the park etc.

Ministry has taken various measures for expediting the implementation of sanctioned projects like-  (i)  Holding  regular  review  meetings  with  the  promoters  to  help  remove  bottlenecks  in implementation; (ii) Creation of Food Processing Fund of Rs. 2000 crore with NABARD to make available  affordable  credit  to  the  Mega  Food  Park  promoters;  (iii)  Facilitating  the  promoters  in obtaining the required statutory clearances from concerned authority; (iv) Modifying the provisions of the scheme guidelines to facilitate implementation of the project; (v) Providing financial assistance to promoters  who set up food processing units in Mega Food Parks  under scheme for Creation/Expansion of Food Processing and Preservation Capacities, a component scheme under Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADAYojana; (vi) Creating awareness of benefits available under the schemes for establishment of food processing units in the park.

(d): Presently, there is no proposal under consideration with Ministry for setting up a Mega Food Park project in Kanpur Dehat district or city in Uttar Pradesh.
