MIDC to relocate 156 manufacturing units from Dombivli to Patalganga
The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has taken a decision to relocate 156 chemicals, hazardous and high risk industries from Dombivli in Thane district to Patalganga in Raigad district. State Industry Minister, Mr. Subhash Desai made the announcement days after the MIDC Board gave its approval after accepting the survey of the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health of these industries. “The decision to relocate the factory was taken after frequent accidents and pollution came to the fore. Dombivali Industrial Area has 525 industrial plots and there are 617 residential plots.
The industrial units located at a distance of 50-m from residential areas, in particular, will be relocated to avoid possible accidents,” said Mr. Desai. He further added that MIDC will make an offer to convert these 156 units to engineering, information technology and non-polluting units and continue to operate on the existing plots. Mr. Desai added that units, which want to shift to Patalganga, will be provided plots to start their chemical units. “MIDC will make available lands in the Patalganga industrial estate,” he added. A MIDC offi cer said it has the list of 156 units adding that they will be approached soon on relocation to Patalganga or converting the existing chemical units into non-polluting units.
