Small industries seek separate industrial areas in Karnataka
The HinduWhile demanding separate industrial areas for small and micro enterprises in the State, Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association has urged the government to bring amendment to the Land Reforms Act suitably for enabling Karnataka State Small Industries Development Corporation to acquire land directly. Otherwise, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board should allocate 30% of land it acquires to KSSIDC at the acquired price without charging any development fees. “MSMEs are suffering as no land has been allocated to KSSIDC for the last 2-3 years.” Highlighting the problems faced by MSMEs and the difficult times they are undergoing, he said about 6% of the industries in Karnataka are operated in the government-owned KSSIDC and KIADB areas while all the remaining industries are operated in private industrial areas. In the interest of development of small industries, there is an urgent need to provide basic facilities in private industrial areas, the KASSIA pleaded.
