## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 288 FOR ANSWER ON 9 TH  AUGUST, 2023.

- (a): National Industrial Corridor Programme has been envisaged on the backbone of major transportation corridors like Eastern & Western Dedicated Freight Corridors, Expressways, National Highways, proximity to ports and airports, etc.
- (b)  &  (c): National  Industrial  Corridor  Programme  aims  to  develop  greenfield  industrial regions/nodes/areas. The objective of the development of these Corridors is to expand the industrial output, increase employment opportunities, provide better living and social amenities for the new and existing/growing workforce by way of providing world class 'plug n play'  reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure for the industries at the plot level and to facilitate the manufacturing investments into the country.  Parameters such as the capacity of proposed units, area of the proposed plant, manpower  deployment,  etc., are considered to envisage approximately per acre direct employment that may be generated in the region by setting up the proposed industrial node. Large-scale industrial activities in these nodes range from low-tech to high-tech, creating multiple indirect and induced jobs. These criteria are applicable for all the industrial corridors under National industrial corridor  programme.  There  is  no  industrial  corridor  between  Hyderabad  to Chennai. However, there is a node identified between Hyderabad to Bengaluru at Orvakal which is under initial stage of planning. Another node between Hyderabad to Nagpur industrial corridor is at Zaheerabad, which lies in the state of Telengana which is in advanced stage of planning.

Corridor development is taken up in a phased manner, and the approved project status is at Annexure-I .

- (d) & (e): As  per  the  approved  institutional  &  financial  structure  for  Industrial  Corridor projects, the development framework is based on a partnership approach between the  Government  of  India  (GoI)  and  the  respective  State  Govt  (s).  While  GoI, through the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust (NICDIT), provides funds as equity/debt for developing world-class trunk infrastructure  in  the  identified  industrial  nodes,  the  States  are  responsible  for providing land.

Ministry of Road Transport &Highways (MoRTH) is primarily responsible for the overall development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs).
