The Cabinet Sub Committee has also been asked to examine a slew of
incentives, including subsidized rates for power, effluent treatment, water steam
solid waste treatment, monthly warehouse charges, monthly park maintenance
charges and annual land lease charges, to get good score in the valuation of
location of the project by Government of India. It would also make
recommendations to amend the Industrial & Business Development Policy 2017
for introducing interest subvention scheme for the Bulk Drug Pharma Park.
The estimated cost of the project is estimated at Rs.1878 crore, including
cost of trunk infrastructure and common infrastructure facilities. The GoI grant
would be Rs. 1000 crore and Rs. 878 crore would be contributed by the state
government.
It may be recalled that the Cabinet, in its earlier meeting on June 22, 2020,
had approved transfer of 1764 acres of land of thermal plant Bathinda to PUDA.
Of this, an area of 1320 acres has been identified for the Bulk Drug Park and
Department of Housing & Urban Development has been directed to execute the
project as per the scheme of GoI once the selection process is completed.
The proposed park in Bathinda would help boost the state’s economy
through creation of employment generation opportunities and overall development.
