2 govt projects among 8 for which state stayed MIDC land allotment

Two government projects are among the eight projects in connection to which the state has stayed land allotment by Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC).

The state government on Monday had vacated a stay on 183 of the 191 industrial projects, for which land was allotted by MIDC after June 1. The decision came in the wake of the Eknath Shinde government being criticised for not being industry-friendly after Vedanta-Foxconn shifted its semiconductor plant to Gujarat.

While the chief minister’s office (CMO) continues to scrutinise the land allotment procedure and identify irregularities, it has emerged that land allotment for two government projects is also under scanner.
