Objectives

To achieve balanced industrial development of Maharashtra with an emphasis on

developing parts and underdeveloped parts of the State

Infrastructural development of each and every district of Maharashtra and

Facilitate entrepreneurs in setting up industries at various locations.

Activities
The MIDC has been declared as an agent of the State Government for carrying out the
activities within the framework of the MID Act and the MID Rules. These activities can be
divided under following 3 broad categories.

Acquisition and disposal of land.

Provision of infrastructure facilities.

Providing of services.

ACQUISITION & DISPOSAL OF LAND

The land for industrial areas is acquired by the Government of Maharashtra under Chapter VI
of the MID Act. 1961 and handed over to the Corporation for further disposal. Likewise,
wherever available, the Government land is also handed over to the Corporation as an
industrial area. The Government pays for the compensation for the private land from its own
fund. The Corporation in turn plans the area and disposes the land in suitable plots by leasing
out for 95 years. For this purpose the Corporation recovers the premium lease money at
different rates for different industrial areas. Also the Corporation constructs built-up
accommodations like Sheds and Flatted units and sale them out to the prospective
industrialists together with the land there under on lease basis. As on 31.3.2002 the
Corporation has planned 87633.76 (Hectares) of land against which 52222.57 Hectors of land
has already come in possession of the Corporation.
PROVISION OF INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES
In terms of the provision of the MID Act, 1961 and the relationship prescribed by the
Government in that regard, the Corporation is required to provide infrastructure facilities like
Roads, Streetlight, Drainage, Water Supply schemes and Buildings for Common facilities like
Post & Telegraphs, Canteen, Bank, Telephone etc. The Corporation meets the expenditure on
such works (facilities) generally from the premium lease money received by it from the
allottees. The relationship further prescribes that the industrial area, after it is fully developed,

should be returned back to the Government / handed over to such agency or authority as the
State Government may directs, after striking out the account of the industrial area concerned.
The surplus / deficit generated out of such operations is to be made good to or recovered from
the State Government as the case may be. As the development of an industrial area is a long
process and instant objective, the Government has prescribed certain scale of interim annual
payments which are termed as .On account Advance Payment to Government .. As on 31st
March 2002 the Government has spent Rs. 303.44 crores on land compensation against which
the Corporation has paid 339.09 crores as .On account Advance payment to Government..
In this connection it may stated that the powers to fix the rates of premium for land for
different industrial areas rest with the Corporation. Since it is the aim of the Government and
the Corporation to achieve a balanced development of the entire State with special emphasis
on the development of backward regions of the state, the Corporation follows a policy of cross
subsidisation rate structure on A B C D zones pattern, in that the rates of land premium in
developed and semi developed parts of the State are higher compared to the rates in
developing and backward regions.
PROVIDING OF SERVICES
The Corporation provides the following services to the units in its industrial areas :-

Assured water supply.

Maintenance of industrial areas.

Drainage schemes.

Other services.

ASSURED WATER SUPPLY

From among the various services provided by the Corporation, an assured pure water supply
can be regarded as a unique speciality of the MIDC. The investment on the water supply
scheme ( Head works ) made by MIDC as on 31st March, 2002 is over Rs. 731.30 crores with
installed capacity of water supply of 1941 MLD. The annual revenue from water is over Rs
375.96 crores.
For the purpose of regulating the water supply operations of the Corporation the Government
of Maharashtra has prescribed a legal and financial relationship between the Government and
the Corporation. The salient features of this relationship are as under i.

A water supply scheme providing water to more than one industrial area in grid
system is termed as Centralised water supply scheme the ownership of which remains

with the MIDC. On the other hand a water supply scheme catering the need of only
one industrial area is termed as Localised water supply scheme with ownership
remaining with Government, as in the case of Industrial area itself.
ii.

The water supply made either from Centralised or Localised water supply scheme is
treated as supply made on behalf of Government and the revenue thus collected is
shown as revenue accrueing to Government.

iii.

While the operating expenditure of Centralised Water supply scheme is debited to the
Corporations account (Income & Expenditure) the operating expenditure of Localised
water supply scheme is debited to the account of Government in agency function.

iv.

The Corporation takes credit of so much portion of the water revenue as is sufficient to
meet its net operating and other expenses. This is done annually at a bulk rate arrived
at by dividing the net expenses debited to the Income and Expenditure Account of the
Corporation by quantity of water supplied through the Centralised water supply
scheme.

v.

The surplus/deficit generated out of total water supply operations is to the account of
Government.

In this connection, it is to be noted that though the relationship provides for the crediting of
the entire water revenue to the account of Government in agency function, the G.R.
prescribing the relationship does not categorically stipulate to pay the amount of surplus
generated out of water supply operations to Government. In other words the Corporation is
impliedly authorised to plough-back the surplus in its operations.
MAINTENANCE OF INDUSTRIAL AREAS
This is a municipal function requiring the Corporation to maintain the Roads, Street lights, Fire
stations ( in few areas ) during the transitory period up to handing over of the industrial area
either to Government or other agency as the Government may decide. The MID Act, vide
Section 56, provides for the exist policy after the purpose of industrial development as
contemplated in the Act is fulfilled. However, this has seldom become possible in the absence
of a substitute agency to take over the responsibility, except in few cases like that of Marol,
Wagale Estate, Pimpri Chinchwad etc. where the Corporation could hand over only the roads
and street lights to local Municipal Corporations. In other areas, the Corporation carries on this
function as a committed obligation. For this purpose the Corporation recovers service charges
to defray the expenditure on such services.
DRAINAGE (EFFLUENT DISPOSAL) and CETP SCHEMES
The Corporation has Effluent Disposal (Drainage) schemes only in selected Industrial areas
having chemical industries. Such schemes are designed to collect and discharge the treated

effluent only. In such areas the Corporation recovers drainage cess to defray the expenditure
on maintenance and to partially recover the capital cost. Also with a view to arrest pollution,
the Corporation has started the operations like Hazardious waste Management and Common
Effluent Plants on Joint venture basis with the help of local industries associations.
OTHER SERVICES
Theses includes providing and maintaining Common Facility Centers like P&T, Banks etc.
Though the Corporation does not levy any specific cess for the purpose, the C. F. C. building
are subject to rentals. Such rental together with other miscellaneous income from the area
covers the maintenance cost of such CFCs.
