The Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) being established at Sector 22 of the new capital would receive abundant water supply from the Mahanadi river, officials stated.
Notably, the EMC has got final approval from the Central government recently.
The EMC is aimed at providing one stop integrated facilities with manufacturing support, welfare and common infrastructure facilities to the prospective electronics manufacturing industries.
It is envisaged to house world class ecosystem for electronics manufacturing industries. The broad list of support manufacturing facilities proposed in the EMC includes Product design house, Tool room, Testing, calibration and certification facility, Printing and packaging facilities.
The identified land at Naya Raipur for the project is spread over 28.32 hectares of land and has excellent connectivity through NH-43 and NH-6.
An IT SEZ is also proposed in the vicinity of the proposed location. Swami Vivekananda Airport is situated at a distance of only 7 km from the proposed location of ESDM Park. Naya Raipur is also well connected by rail. The Raipur railway station, the biggest junction in the State, is 20 kilometres away and the new railway station at Mandir Hassaud is just 2 kilometres away.
The EMC, whose foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on February 21 would have 61 industrial plots, officials stated.
As of now, there is minimal presence of Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) sector in the State. However, with its inherent strengths, the State has immense potential to become an ESDM hub of the country, officials stated.
Chhattisgarh has emerged as a lucrative investment hub among its competing states with sectors like power, mining and minerals, manufacturing, sponge iron and steel, IT/ITes, biotechnology, food processing, etc. becoming key investment drivers and has attracted both domestic and foreign investment over the past few years, officials stated.
Chhattisgarh is poised to become the next ESDM hub of India with the availability of enabling infrastructure, minerals and talent pool.
The proposed EMC is aimed at providing one stop integrated facilities with manufacturing support, welfare and common infrastructure facilities to the prospective electronics manufacturing industries. The proposed EMC is envisaged to house world class eco system for electronics manufacturing industries.
Assessments of the key infrastructure availability in the catchment area of the Project Site suggest that the catchment region is well equipped with the sector enabling infrastructure, officials stated.
Six-lane expressways provide easy access to the city. At present, access is through NH-43 at the south- eastern boundary and NH-6 at the northern boundary of Naya Raipur. Nearly 75.2 km of 4 lane/six lane roads have already been constructed. 61 km road network is under construction, officials stated.
