Objectives

  • Set up Industrial Areas for planned and systematic industrial development
  • To function as a special planning authority in development of industrial areas
  • "Prosperity to all through Industrialisation" is the corporate philosophy of MIDC

History

After the formation of Maharashtra State on May 1, 1960, the Government of Maharashtra constituted a "Board of Industrial Development" (BID) on October 1, 1960, under the Chairmanship of Shri. S. G. Barve, I.C.S. The various committees recommendations received in the industries department were taken up for implementation and as per the Borkar Committee's recommendations, development of Ulhas Valley Water Supply was entrusted to the Board of Industrial Development (BID). The BID framed the legislation and it was introduced before the state legislation and passed in the form of "Maharashtra Industrial Act" which gave birth to MIDC, as a separate corporation on August 1, 1962.
A small ceremony at Wagle Estate Thane, under the Chairmanship of the Chief Minister Shri Y.B. Chavan, marked the birthday of MIDC on August 1, 1962

The key historical policy decisions taken by MIDC certainly changed the socioeconomic scenario of the state as its activities spread in the interior. The important policy decision of setting up "independent filtered, potable water supply system of adequate capacity" as essential infrastructure for industrial development was the most intelligent step taken by MIDC right in the beginning. It stabilised the population base near the industrial areas. The strategic wise decision taken simultaneously to provide water supply to nearby domestic population from the capabilities created by MIDC of their own water supply system resulted in phenomenal urban growth in the nearby small towns and villages. The growth of Kalyan complex and Pimpri-Chinchwad

 are results of this key policy decision taken by MIDC.
Up to date 229 industrial areas are developed by MIDC in State of Maharashtra on 53120 Hectors of land. With the experience of 45 years MIDC observed that certain industries are required to be provided some specialized facilities. For the growth of such industries and accordingly specialized parks / industrial clusters are developed with specialized infrastructure facilities. In this way IT & BT Parks, Wine Parks, Textile Parks, Chemical Zones, Food Parks, Leather Park, Floriculture Park and Electronic Zone etc. are developed by MIDC.
Considering the International standard facilities required to attract multinational companies, five star industrial areas are developed by MIDC at 9 locations in the State of Maharashtra. Considering the export potential of the various products specifically delineated duty free enclave which is to be deemed to be foreign territory for the purpose of trade operations and duties and traffics special economic zones are being developed by MIDC to provide hassle free environment for exporters. Maharashtra got overwhelming 74 Special Economic Zone approvals from the Government of India which is leading at No.1 position compare to other states in India.
The planned and systematic industrial development in the State of Maharashtra has continuously placed Maharashtra at No.1 position in India for the highest productivity, economics performance, business efficiency, government efficiency, infrastructures and overall competitiveness. As per the World Competitiveness Report 2006 Maharashtra ranks 37, ahead of South Korea, South Africa, Philippines, Greece, Brazil, Italy, Russia & Indonesia.
In the Maharashtra State MIDC has demarcated 57650 No. of plots and allotted 48701 No. of plots to the entrepreneurs. There are total 28918 No. of industries in production. MIDC has provided the water supply scheme of total 2240.83 MLD capacity and water consumption is 1314.73 MLD in the MIDC areas in the State of Maharashtra. MIDC has provided water supply pipelines of 3238.60 K.M. lengths to cater the water supply demand of the industries in Maharashtra. Total roads of 2422.82 K.M. lengths are constructed by MIDC for providing good quality approach to the industries. The development expenditure of Rs.3096.75 Crores is incurred for the various infrastructure works by MIDC. The annual revenue generated from the water supply is Rs.432.00 Crores.
