Introduction
India – Economic outlook
The Planning Commission has set an average GDP growth target of 8% for the 12th Plan. The sector-wise
average GDP growth targets for Agriculture, Industry and Services are 4%, 7.6% and 9% respectively. To register
significant economic growth, revival of investment in industry and key infrastructure sectors is very important.The
growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at factor cost at constant (2004-05 prices) is estimated (provisional
estimate) at 5.0% in 2012-13 with agriculture, industry and services registering growth rates of 1.9%, 2.1% and
7.1% respectively. Also, it is crucial to accelerate the output of core sectors and speed up implementation of crucial
big ticket projects, while laying emphasis on research and development and adequate availability of skilled
manpower to improve India's competitiveness in the manufacturing sector.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Scenario
India witnessed cumulative FDI inflows of INR 19,266 billion (USD 3,09,012 million) from April 2000 to October
2013 as per Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) data. FDI inflows received during financial year
2013-14 (from April, 2013 to October, 2013) were INR 1,177.74 billion (USD 18, 934 million). During 2012-13, India
attracted FDI worth INR 1394.64 billion (USD 22.42 billion) with hotels, tourism, pharmaceuticals, services,
chemicals and construction receiving higher investment. The major contributors to the Indian FDI are made by US,
Japan, UK, UAE and Germany.
From 2007 to 2012, India received a total of 4981 FDI projects with a total investment of INR 20278.88 billion (USD
$326 billion) and generated 1.4 million jobs making India the fourth largest recipient of FDI in the world and
second largest in the developing countries. The government opened gates to foreign investors in 13 sectors
including petrol and natural gas, insurance, tea plantation, courier, credit information firms, defence production
industries etc. It liberalized FDI regime allowing 100% FDI in Telecom sector, Power and 51% FDI in multi brand
retail sector and 100% in retail single brand. This liberalized FDI policy which is termed as second wave in
economic reforms could lead to continuous upsurge in FDI and bring in much needed foreign investments to the
country.
Imports and Exports
The opening up of the Indian economy has greatly increased the role of trade. In the Eleventh Plan, the total share
of merchandise exports and imports as a proportion of GDP rose from 36.4 per cent to 45.6 per cent.
Important Legislations and programmes of Government of India
o National Competitiveness Programme was announced in 2005 with an objective to support the
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in their endeavor to become competitive and adjust to

corresponding period.
Karnataka’s industrial growth between FY 2005-06 and FY 2011-12 was 7.39% as against India’s 7.93%.
Karnataka GSDP has grown at 5.9% to reach INR 3, 03,444 crore in 2012-13 (constant price) against India’s 5%.
Bangalore has been at the fore front of attracting both domestic and foreign investments. The state has been able
to attract considerable amount of FDI across various sectors. Between April 2000 and October 2013, Karnataka
received FDI to the tune of INR 54,508 crores. From 2009-10 to 2013-14, the State High Level Clearance
Committee (SHLCC) cleared 484 projects worth INR 671460.21 crores with employment potential for 22, 72,064
persons. In the same period, State Level Single Window Clearance Committee cleared 2041 projects worth INR
31794.25 crores with employment potential for 466640 persons. Karnataka’s export of INR 2, 58,368.53 crore
during the period 2012-13 constitutes 12.69% of all India exports. Karnataka’s share in national exports for
electronics and software constitute about 38% and for product exports constitute 6.3%. Share of electronics and
software in state exports stands at 60% for the period 2012-13.
In the 11th Five Year plan, the economy could not grow at the pace as planned due to global slowdown witnessed
since the beginning of 2008, uncertain and challenging macroeconomic situation globally and nationally, and the
widespread drought situation in the State. However, the Government of Karnataka is determined and poised to
accelerate the process of its economic growth so as to achieve its vision of an inclusively developed State. It
undertook several initiatives to maintain the growth of the state economy and came out with numerous policies to
support sector and industrial growth. Some of the policies released by the state include:

5.1.1. Development of Integrated infrastructure for industrial development
a. To promote new state industrial corridors and industrial areas in and around National
Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ)and proposed Industrial Corridors
Government of India’s (GoI’s) National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) 2011 proposes development of
NMIZs across the country, where in NIMZs would be large areas of developed land, with the requisite
eco-system for promoting world class manufacturing activity. They would be different from SEZs in
terms of size, level of infrastructure planning, and governance structures related to regulatory
procedures and exit policies.
To enable the NIMZ to function as a self-governing and autonomous body, it will be developed as an
integrated industrial townships with state-of-the art infrastructure and land use plan on the basis of
zoning, clean and energy efficient technology, necessary social infrastructure and skill development
facilities, etc.
NIMZs would be managed by Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) which would ensure master planning of
the Zone; pre-clearances for setting up the industrial units to be located within the zone and
undertake such other functions as specified in the various sections of the NMP.
The State Government of Karnataka has proposed to establish National Investment and
Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) in the state at Tumkur, Bidar, Gulbarga andKolar.
b. Establishment of Knowledge City Corridor
Development of a knowledge city corridor between Bangalore and Mysore to promote knowledge
based and knowledge intensive industries will be proposed.
c. State Government has proposed to establish two industrial corridors in the state with the support of
Government of India, viz. Chennai – Bangalore – Chitradurga Industrial corridor and Bangalore –
Mumbai Economic corridor. The corridors will have separate industrial nodes for industrial
investments.
State will also explore option for setting up of State industrial corridors along:
i. Bangalore – Hassan – Mangalore – Udupi – Karwar
ii. Bangalore – Mandya – Mysore – Chamarajnagar

iii. Bellary - Hubli - Goa
iv. Chitradurga – Koppal – Raichur – Gulbarga – Bidar
Efforts will be made to encourage development and alignment of new industrial areas/ estates along
the NMIZs and industrial corridors and manufacturing units.
d. To create full-fledged sector specific industrial zones where investors can set up industries on
plug and play basis
A new policy for industrial area/ estate development will be explored where the State would look at
creating Special Investment Zones for focus sectors. Efforts will be made to establish these
investment zones in all districts and will be managed by a single SPV. All regulatory and statutory
approvals for the development of the investment zone and for establishment of industry in these
investment zones would be taken by the SPV.
It is proposed to set up one such sector specific industrial zone in each revenue division, during the
policy period.
5.1.2. Promotion of Private Industrial Estates/Parks

a) To create quality and sustainable industrial infrastructure across the State through private
participation to build a vibrant Karnataka
The State Government has taken several initiatives to create quality infrastructure for industries
across the State. Specialised agencies like Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB)
and Karnataka State Small Industries Development Corporation (KSSIDC) have been playing key
roles in creating industrial infrastructure. Due to growth in industrialization, the demand for
industrial infrastructure has been increasing steadily in the recent years.
KIADB & KSSIDC are putting substantial efforts to meet the demand from new and existing investors
by way of developing new industrial areas and estates. In spite of this, the gap between demand and
supply still exists, creating setback for investors in establishing their projects in the State.
State Government has identified industrial infrastructure development as a priority and it is

envisaged to encourage private players in developing industrial infrastructure in the State to augment
the activities being carried out currently by KIADB and KSSIDC towards easing availability of land
required for industries.
.
b) Land for Private Industrial Layouts / Parks
Land would be made available to the proponents for development of Private Industrial Layouts /
Parks by one of the following procedures:

Permission to purchase lands from land owners for development of private industrial Estates / Parks
subject compliance with land use pattern in the approved Master Plan.
To utilize proponent’s own land for development of private industrial Estates/ Parks subject
compliance with land use pattern in the approved Master Plan.
Allotment of bulk land in areas acquired by KIADB / Government bodies to the Private investors /
developers for Industrial Layouts / Parks. Suitable sub-leasing arrangements along with flexible terms
& conditions would be specified.
Acquisition of private lands by the State Government on demand for development of Private
Industrial Layouts / Parks, where atleast 80% consent has been obtained by the proponent, through
Single Window Mechanism/ Empowered Committee. Such lands would be transferred / leased to the
Developer/ Co-developer on easy terms. The private Industrial Estates will be setup with the
minimum of 50 to 75 acres of land in the most potential talukas to expediate the development of
Small and Micro Sector
c) Guidelines for land acquisition
Guidelines for land acquisition to be adopted as per “The Right to Fair Compensation and
Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.
Minimum Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) entitlements and benefits to be evolved in

conjunction with KIADB Act and “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land
Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.
d) Creation of comprehensive infrastructure
In order to create world-class infrastructural facilities, the Developer or Co-developer shall be insisted
to develop, construct and install all basic support infrastructure like road, bridge, power generation,
transmission and distribution, water supply, UGD system in the industrial estates / parks.
Private players need to create support services like gas distribution network, communication and data
network transmission, waste water treatment and solid waste management, warehouse etc., in the
industrial estates / parks.
Private Player will also be the operating agency for operating, managing and maintaining all the
infrastructure facilities, amenities and support services on ‘pay and use’ basis.
e) Focus on orderly development of infrastructure
Developer of a private industrial area shall focus on development of industrial estates / parks in an
orderly manner as per prevailing national / international best practices. Setting up of sector specific or

cluster specific industrial estates/ parks at potential locations will be encouraged. Also segregation of
plots will be mandatory to reflect separate earmarked area for highly polluting industries.
Note : Incentives and Concessions offered for formation of private industrial areas / estates are
as per Annexure -2 & 5 respectively.
5.1.3. Up gradation and maintenance of existing industrial infrastructure
a. Introduction of Industrial townships.
State government shall take immediate steps to notify large industrial areas viz. Peenya, Mysore,
Bommasandra, Belgaum, Hubli, etc as Industrial townships under the Township Act.
A minimum of 5 townships is proposed to be establish with Necessary budgetary support after

notification
b. Upgradation of existing industrial areas :
A holistic scheme for enhancement of existing industrial areas wherever such industrial area is not
covered under the Township Act will be introduced. The scheme will propose to create a healthy
system of continuous grading, upgradation and marketing assistance with appropriate cost recovery
mechanism will be introduced. New industrial areas/ estates will also be graded as per the provisions
of proposed scheme.
The standard benchmarks for the grading of industrial areas and estates will be developed separately
and all industrial areas/ estates will be subject to third party audits for grading.
It is proposed to upgrade minimum 30 Industrial Areas per annum with a budgetary provision of INR
100 Crores per annum, for upgradation of pre-defined minimum critical infrastructure in existing
industrial areas/ estates based on category grades for upgrading to a higher category grade.
Government of India schemes for upgradation of existing industrial infrastructure such as Modified
Industrial Infrastructure UpgradationScheme(MIIUS), etc. will be explored and benefits will be
leveraged wherever applicable.
c. Maintenance of industrial areas on PPP mode
KIADB may expand its scope of services to include effluent treatment plants, provision of power,
water and quality access roads for a select number of large industrial areas, on its own or in PPP
mode.
d. To develop world class support infrastructure for industries
KIADB will create an action plan to develop multi-floor industrial buildings in for industrialisation in
and around Bangalore, Mysore, Belgaum, Hubli-Dharwad, Bellary, Mangalore, and Udupi where land
is scarce and the cost of acquisition / development is very high.

e. WATER:
To encourage supply of Secondary / Tertiary treated water to existing / proposed notified

industrial areas
· Programme already proposed are as under :
o 60 MLD of water proposed for Devanahalli&Doddaballapura Industrial Areas.
o 50 MLD of water proposed for Kolar, Narasapura, Vemgal, Hoskote, Malur and
Mastenahalli Industrial Areas.
· Programmes to be proposed during policy period are as under :
o Mysore, Mangalore, Dharwad, Tumkur, Belgaum, Gulbarga, etc.
f. POWER:
State Government has initiated various measures to augment the power shortage and expected to
attend self sufficient by 2017. Besides in order to encourage energy conservation measures and also
to generate and consume power through non-conventional energy sources, various incentives and
concessions are offered and listed in Annexure-2
Further, in order to make available the required land to private entrepreneurs for setting up power
generating units the procedure for purchase of Agricultural land or conversion for non-agricultural
purpose will be made easier.
5.1.4. Regulatory Reforms

a. Acquisition of land, creation of land bank for industrial development
It is proposed to create more land banks in the state for the development of manufacturing
sector and develop these lands on PPP module
Guidelines for land acquisition to be adopted as per “The Right to Fair Compensation and
Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.
Minimum Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) entitlements and benefits to be evolved in

conjunction with KIADB Act and “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land
Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.
Efforts will be made to promote usage of waste, barren, karab, dry and single crop land for acquisition
of land for industrial purposes. This could be achieved by way of identifying minimum 500-1000 acres
of such land in each talukas under the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) of the talukas
Inventory of surplus and unused land available with PSUs, State Government, and suitable private
land will be made to create a ready to use GIS mapped Land Bank for industrial development. This
will enable the State to offer ready to use land to investors.

Suitable mechanism shall be adopted for effective utilisation of the land.by imposing penalties
and forfeitures for inaction by Promoters and delays in implementing the projects after land
allotment for more than 2 years.
FAR, will be increased from the present average levels of 1.0 to 3.0, specifically for plots in industrial
parks and average ground coverage will be increased from 45-50% to 70%. This will be applicable
both to existing and proposed projects. This measure would release significant amount of land in
existing industries and reduce the need to procure or provide more land for industry.
Necessary amendments will be proposed for Karnataka Land Reforms Act, to reduce the time taken in
according approval for purchase of land under Section 109 and also for converting agriculture land for
industrial purposes.
Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) and Karnataka State Town Planning Board
maintain different standard requirements for Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for industries. Floor Area Ratio
for industry projects will be standardised between the two departments to provide better facilitation
for investors.
Lands allotted for industrial purposes will not be allowed to be used for any other purpose other than
industrial purposes.
Facilitate purchase of land upto 25 to 30 acres without extensive regulatory procedures and
permit deemed conversion for such land within stiputated time. Necessary Amendments to
the Karnataka Land Reforms Act will be proposed.
5.2. Human Resource Development
5.2.1. Skill Development
a) Focus on provision of skill development and upgradation
It is proposed to constitute a skill development and upgradationcommittee with members from

industry, academia and government. The sole responsibility of the committee will be to assist the
government in its efforts to align the curriculum of Industrial Training Institutes’ (ITIs), Polytechnics,
Government Tool Room & Training Centre (GT&TC), District Industrial Skill Training Centres(ATI’s),
and other allied institutes with the requirements of Industries so as to create job ready employable
workforce.
Quality management programmes, soft skills training and entrepreneurship skills to be made an
integral part of skill development curriculum.

b) Focus on trainers training programme
A trainer’s training programme will be designed in collaboration with industries and with assistance of
National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and other Skill Development Training Institutes
.These learning programmes will be funded by the state with assistance from Government of India
schemes to help trainers in skill development institutes to update themselves on latest technology
and industry standards.
c) Revival and upgradation of Training Centres
State will also focus on revival of redundant and obsolete training institutes and strengthening of
existing apprenticeship programme. Artisan Training Institutes’ (ATI) in Karnataka, will be given due
support for upgradation through private participation by converting them into Skill Development
Training Centres, thereby training can be imparted in highly skilled and advance courses
A minimum budgetary support of INR50 lakhs for upgradation of infrastructure facilities for each
centre and 25 lakhs per annum as training cost per centre. It is proposed to revive atleast 3 ATI’s per
annum.
d) Utilisation of Private Infrastructural facilities for imparting training programmes
Provision will be made to allow private industries to collaborate with GT&TC and other allied
institutes to conduct training programmes for students andtrainers using their facility and
infrastructure, periodically, on new technologies in the market. Subsequently, industries conducting
such programmes may also be allowed to issue certificate equivalent to that issued by skill
development centres with prior approval of Department of Technical Education and Department of
Commerce and Industries and under pre-defined guidelines.
Such industries may be subsidised for the cost of training, certification and usage of private
infrastructure subject to provision of employment for 85% of trained students.

The sick unit revival policy for small, medium and large scale units which was issued during 2002 is
still in force with few modifications. In view of changes in the unit’s classifications, financing
procedures, changes in policies, it needs to be replaced with comprehensive policy.
Efforts will be made to adopt exit mechanism for non-viable businesses which has lead to locking
of funds and capital assets, while giving full protection to the interest of employees.
Further, in view of rapid growth of cities like Bangalore, Mysore, Dharwad, Belgaum, etc. are facing
shortage of infrastructural facilities along with traffic congestion. Therefore there is an urgent need
for introduction of relocation policy for labour intensive industries.

revival and relocation of industries.
