Flatted factory complexes to come up in Agra, Kanpur

The state government on Friday approved flatted factory complex for industrial cities of Agra and Kanpur and decided to improve industrial infrastructure in Lucknow and two other districts.

Flatted factories are multistoreyed complexes in which non-polluting industrial units can operate. This concept is adopted to ensure easy availability of land for industries. Navneet Sehgal, additional chief secretary, MSME, informed that the state government had approved Rs 51.13 crore for the flatted factory complex, one each in Agra and Kanpur.

For the Agra project, the government has approved Rs 26.41 crore and for Kanpur Rs 24.72 crore. The Centre will provide financial assistance of Rs 12 crore each for both the projects.

The fatted factory complex model is adopted for non-polluting units permitted by industrial development authorities.
