Jharkhand Industrial Park and Logistic Policy 2022

Memo No. 06/U.Ni./Vividh/Logistics Park-3/2021........1132........

1. Preamble

The Government of Jharkhand introduced Jharkhand Industrial Park Policy in September 2015 for a period of five years with a view to create industrial infrastructure for rapid industrialization in the State. The state had provisioned to incentivize the private players to come forward and develop well- equipped, state-of-the-art industrial parks which is quintessential to the development of industries.

The Government of Jharkhand believes that the government owned Industrial Area Development Authorities coupled with engagement of private players in the area of development of industrial parks can bring about a sea-change in tackling one of the most grievous issues of industrial development i.e. availability of land. Jharkhand, in its endeavor to give policy push to encourage private players to come forward and contribute with a vision for holistic development of the state as well as their own interests, has come forward with a policy which not only caters to the development of industrial parks but also delves into the area of incentivizing development of logistic parks and logistics units.

The present policy has been drafted in the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic, when MSMEs are suffering from tremendous capital crunch, thus the new policy envisages and emphasizes on development of industrial infrastructure and provide a plethora of incentives that could boost the growth of industries including MSMEs units. This policy also realizes the importance of holistic development of logistic sector and connectivity to industrial parks and major clusters. The present policy has adopted all the amendments of the past policy, recommendations of High-Powered Committee constituted under Single Window Clearance Act 2015, valuable inputs received from the industry players during the Stakeholders meet. A special focus has been laid on to attract MSME and non-MSME players in the logistics sectors through this policy.

Under this background, the policy aims at setting up of private, joint venture and PPP mode industrial parks, Logistic Parks and Logistic Units with all necessary industrial infrastructure.

2. Objectives

• To develop a robust infrastructure for industries in the State for their sustainable development. • To promote private investment in setting up industrial parks, logistic park and logistic units in the State.
