The first master plan of Delhi recognised the need to regulate the industrial activities of Delhi and prohibited certain type of industries, mainly large scale and obnoxious industries from being set up in Delhi. The revised MPD-2001 while recognizing the need for controlling industrial growth of Delhi, recommended the growth of only small scale industries.
The issues relating to industries in Delhi have been a subject of extensive debate, controversy and concern over the past decade. This has centered mainly on the aspects of pollution and negative environmental impact of industries, the existence and continued growth of industries in non conforming areas and the issue of classification and permissibility with reference to household industries.
Objectives
To evolve an appropriate mechanism so as to promote industrial growth in the desired direction.
To maximise production and achieve higher productivity through modernised and more efficient work techniques and optimum utilization of available resources.
To discourage migration of unskilled labour into the NCT of Delhi from the adjoining States.
To constantly strive to promote industries in accordance with the provisions of the Master Plan for Delhi.
To upgrade the technology level of the existing industries by providing them technical and financial support.
To promote sophisticated hi-tech industries, with special emphasis on high value added items without effluents, smoke, noise and vibration so that they do not cause pollution and are not hazardous and noxious.
To promote export oriented and import substitute industries as well as marketing related industries.
To encourage activities allied to industry, such as marketing services, consultancy, training of skilled man-power through Vocational Training Programmes & entrepreneurial development programmes.
To impose a complete ban on setting up of hazardous/noxious and heavy & large industries as per MPD-2001.
Policy Guidelines
There will be a continuation of the total ban on setting up of hazardous, obnoxious industries as well as large/heavy industries which involve investment in large/heavy machinery. In general only small scale industries will be permitted in Delhi.
The focus of development of manufacturing sector in Delhi needs a change. Because of environmental and space constraints, Govt of Delhi would give more stress on the growth of the tertiary sector rather than manufacturing sector. Govt. would provide for avenues of setting up of manufacturing based industries with proper incentives in the neighbouring areas to attract manufacturing activities outside Delhi in the National Capital Region (NCR).
