The haphazard development of the Baddi Barotiwala Nalagarh (BBN) industrial region, which is dotted with villages and fields along with innumerable industrial units, is a bit baffling for a first time visitor. For the industrial belt, which houses over 2,000 manufacturing units, infrastructure and high logistics costs are among the critical concerns.
Take for instance, the four-laning project of the Pinjore-Nalagarh section on NH21 A, which has been lying in limbo for some time due to issues involving high costs of land acquisition.
Shailesh Aggarwal, President, BBN Industries Association, said, “There needs to be close co-ordination between the State and Central governments to expedite this matter. We have already conveyed our concerns to both the State and Central governments. The highway is a critical connectivity link for the BBN industrial hub.”
