INTRODUCTION:-
Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) established in 1962, under MID Act, 1961 as the premier industrial infrastructure development agency of Govt. of Maharashtra, with the basic objective to set up industrial areas for planned and systematic industrial development of Maharashtra State (India).
Up to date 229 industrial areas are developed by MIDC in State of Maharashtra on 53120 Hectors of land. With the experience of 45 years MIDC observed that certain industries are required to be provided some specialized facilities. For the growth of such industries and accordingly specialized parks / industrial clusters are developed with specialized infrastructure facilities. In this way IT & BT Parks, Wine Parks, Textile Parks, Chemical Zones, Food Parks, Leather Park, Floriculture Park and Electronic Zone etc. are developed by MIDC.
Considering the International standard facilities required to attract multinational companies, five star industrial areas are developed by MIDC at 9 locations in the State of Maharashtra. Considering the export potential of the various products specifically delineated duty free enclave which is to be deemed to be foreign territory for the purpose of trade operations and duties and traffics special economic zones are being developed by MIDC to provide hassle free environment for exporters. Maharashtra got overwhelming 74 Special Economic Zone approvals from the Government of India which is leading at No.1 position compare to other states in India.
The planned and systematic industrial development in the State of Maharashtra has continuously placed Maharashtra at No.1 position in India for the highest productivity, economics performance, business efficiency, government efficiency, infrastructures and overall competitiveness. As per the World Competitiveness Report 2006 Maharashtra ranks 37, ahead of South Korea, South Africa, Philippines, Greece, Brazil, Italy, Russia & Indonesia.
In the Maharashtra State MIDC has demarcated 57650 No. of plots and allotted 48701 No. of plots to the entrepreneurs. There are total 28918 No. of industries in production. MIDC has provided the water supply scheme of total 2240.83 MLD capacity and water consumption is 1314.73 MLD in the MIDC areas in the State of Maharashtra. MIDC has provided water supply pipelines of 3238.60 K.M. lengths to cater the water supply demand of the industries in Maharashtra. Total roads of 2422.82 K.M. lengths are constructed by MIDC for providing good quality approach to the industries. The development expenditure of Rs.3096.75 Crores is incurred for the various infrastructure works by MIDC. The annual revenue generated from the water supply is Rs.432.00 Crores.
Due to overall industrial development of the high profile state like Maharashtra, industries are dominating the landscape and unless proper environment management planning is done, liquid waste, hazardous waste and air pollution will go out of control and may pollute the natural resources and disturb the ecological balance. There are various acts and rules and notifications published by the Ministry of Environment & Forest, Govt. of India for controlling and protection of environment, however the awareness of these is not found and no proper information system, technical guidance is available easily. Also it is observed that the specialized practicing lawyers are not available easily who can guide the various environmental acts and rules. It is observed that due to lack of awareness regarding environmental information, acts and provisions the proper environment management is not done effectively and hence there is necessity to have environment information centre which can guide and provide necessary information related to environment to the entrepreneurs as well as to the public.
