A DELEGATION of MIDC Industries Association (MIA), led by President P Mohan, recently met P Velrasu, CEO of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), at the MIDC office. During the interaction, the MIA members highlighted several critical issues affecting the industrial ecosystem of the Hingna MIDC area and proposed actionable solutions for their resolution.

 

Key issues that were highlighted included - ease of doing business, waste management, sewage infrastructure, land acquisition and expansion, healthcare, etc. P Mohan said that the entrepreneurs face delays and financial strain due to centralized decision-making in Mumbai. MIA felt that empowering the Nagpur Regional office of MIDC with more autonomy, appointing a Deputy CEO locally, and digitizing administrative processes will be good for the local industries. MIA also proposed professional agencies, land allocation for garbage disposal, and penalties for illegal dumping under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The interaction marked a significant step towards addressing long-standing issues in the Hingna MIDC area. Prominent attendees included Arun Lanjewar, Ganesh Jaiswal, Ajay Agrawal, K K Daga, Rakesh Gupta, and officials from MIDC.
