NTPC seeks industry response for setting up manufacturing parks
State-run power generator NTPC has invited applications from MSMEs and other Indian companies to gauge their interest in setting up manufacturing units within the premises of its power plants. NTPC plans to use its unutilised land to build industrial parks to attract industries, where land, water, electricity and other infrastructural facilities will be arranged by the company.
The power generator firm plans to initially build pilot industrial parks in its power plants at Solapur (Maharashtra), Kudgi (Karnataka) and Gadarwara (Madhya Pradesh). The pilot parks are proposed to be built across 791 acres in Karnataka, 500 acres in Madhya Pradesh and 428 acres in Maharashtra. NTPC expects energy-intensive manufacturing plants such as bulk chemicals, geo-polymers, cooling and heating solutions, aluminium, mineral processing, metallurgical and metal industries to set up units in the parks.
