6Industrial Scenario
Source Pune Industrial Special Report- June 2008
7 Pune Industrial Statistics
No. of people working in IT and ITES
companies at Pune Approx 2 lakh
8Employment Statistics
- Total direct employment by manufacturing
industries in Pune Around 4,00,000 - Indirect employment estimate (Labor not on the
rolls but which is on contract) Around 4,00,000 - Thus, total employment created by manufacturing
sector in Pune Region is around 8,00,000
9Power Prime hurdle for Industrial Development
- Pune needs an immediate relief from this
shortfall. Hence increasing power supply capacity
in Maharashtra is of utmost importance - Group Captive power plants and islanding of Pune
Region to be encouraged . - Since there is availability of Gas, it should be
utilized for setting up peaking power generation
plant in next 12-18 months to meet all our
power requirements. -
10Power Supply and Demand Position
MSEDCL Power Supply and Demand Position
(CEA) Central Electricity Authority Peak demand
Peak demand for Pune circles is 890 (MW). The
quota of Pune from MSEDCL grid is 600- 650 MW.
Punes demand is increasing at 10 per
annum SourceMSEDCL data
11 Octroi Major Impediment
- Amongst the major cities , Pune is the only one
that has Octroi levy - Due to it procedural aspects- it gives rise to
discretionary assessment , corruption, wastage
of time ,fuel , higher transaction cost of goods
and services, higher carbon releases in the air
causing pollution etc.
12Water Pollution
- There are around 5525 industries with total
effluent generation of about 14500 MLD - 290 Units that discharge hazardous waste of about
600 M3 per day ,needs treatment. - Existing STP are using about 120 of their
capacity - Hence raw sewage other than from industrial waste
floods the rivers
13Issues and Problems of Pune/ MIDC
- Industries are already paying MIDC for fire
fighting services. Hence it is imperative to have
a proper infrastructure of fire stations. - Patrolling scheme, removal of encroachments in
MIDC areas are other areas that one needs to look
at - Although Industrial License is not required when
Industries are located in the designated areas of
MIDC, members are asked to obtain and renew
license from Corporations .
14Public Transport
- Efficient public transport either under ground or
elevated tracks . - High Capacity Mass Transit Light Railway
( HCMTLR) projects are required to tackle
increasing Traffic.
15MAHARASHTRA MATHADI, HAMAL AND OTHER MANUAL
WORKERS (REGULATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND WELFARE)
ACT 1969
- Current Issues
- Irregular and unjustified demands of wage
increase - Imposition of unsuitable (education, attitude,
hygiene and habits) Mathadi workers - Extortion of money
- Registration of those already doing the so called
Mathadi work is not done - Stoppage of work
- Low productivity, poor quality
- No cognizance, corrective as well as preventive
action by Mathadi Board to deal with
indiscipline
16Roads Inadequate and Underdeveloped
- Existing intra-city and inter-city roads need to
be widened and bettered - Truck Parking on the outskirts prevent them from
entering the premises - Expedition of coordinated signals
- Expansion of synchronized signals that are camera
based for a smoother traffic flow
17Government Policy
- Early declaration and implementation of IT /
Animation Policies and other such policies. - Early implementation of various government
projects. - Effective coordination between Government
Departments and Agencies. - Simplification and rationalization of
Infrastructure and regulatory policies. - Rationalization of statutory provisions and
procedures.
18International Airport for Western Maharashtra
Overdue since 10 years
- Essential for Pune Region Growth
- MIDC should acquire the land under its existing
act and hand it over to MADC for development - Put up the project for PPP
- Pune is a perfect location since there is no
international air transport hub between Singapore
and Dubai - An International Airport in this Region will
Boost state Economy - Early and timely action required else risk of
losing the project to neighbouring states.
19Futuristic Outlook
- International Exhibition Centre
- Upgrading the facilities at the existing Airport
- Independent International Airport
- Natural Gas supplies for transportation, power
generation and industrial use - Mass Rapid Transportation System
- Several Special Economic Zones under
implementation/planned - Several Hotels coming up
- Pune to be one of the few wi-fi cities of the
world
