## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS

(SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a)  to  (c): The  Government  of  India,  through  the  Department  of  Chemicals  and Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, is implementing the Scheme for Setting up of Plastic Parks to support the development of need-based plastic processing clusters in the country. The objective of the scheme is to promote the downstream plastic processing industry by providing infrastructure and common facilities through a cluster development approach, thereby enhancing investment, production, and employment generation in the sector.

Under the scheme, the Government of India provides a grant-in-aid up to 50% of the project cost, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 40 crore per project, while the remaining cost is borne by the State Government/implementing agency and participating industries through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).

## Madhya Pradesh:

Two Plastic Parks have been approved in the State, namely:

1. Tamot Plastic Park Approved in 2013 with a total project cost of about Rs. 108 crore, including a Government of India grant of Rs. 40 crore.
2. Bilaua Plastic Park (Gwalior) - Approved in 2018 with a total project cost of about Rs. 68.72 crore, including a Government of India grant of Rs. 34.36 crore.

These parks are developed with common infrastructure and facilities such as  roads, power supply, water supply, sewerage/waste treatment systems, common facilities centre, and other support  services  to  facilitate  the  growth  of  plastic  processing  industries  and  generate employment in the region.

So far, 10 Plastic Parks have been approved in different States of the country. The State-wise details are as follows:
