Vision for DMIC
“To create strong economic base with globally competitive environment
and state-of-the-art infrastructure to activate local commerce, enhance
foreign investments and attain sustainable development”
Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor is conceived to be developed as “Global
Manufacturing and Trading Hub” supported by world class infrastructure
and enabling policy framework
Project GoalsDouble employment potential in five years (14.87% CAGR)
Triple industrial output in five years (24.57% CAGR)
Quadruple exports from the region in five years (31.95% CAGR)

Project Objectives
Industrial InfrastructureDeveloping new industrial clusters Upgradation of existing industrial estates/clusters in the corridorDeveloping Modern Integrated Agro-Processing Zones with allied infrastructureDevelopment of IT/ITeS Hubs and other allied infrastructureProviding efficient logistics chain with multi-modal logistic hubs
Physical InfrastructureDevelopment of ‘Knowledge Hubs’ with integrated approachFeeder Road/Rail connectivity to ports, hinterlands and markets;Development of existing Port infrastructure and Greenfield Ports; Upgradation/ Modernization of Airports;Setting up Power Generation Plants with transmission facilities;Ensuring effective environment protection mechanism Development of integrated townships
7
Integrated Corridor Development
The development strategy for the DMIC is based on the competitiveness of each of the DMIC states :
Holistic approach adopted to identify High Impact/Market Driven Nodes along the DMIC
Each Node will be self-sustained regions with world class infrastructure and enhanced connectivity to DFC, Ports, and Hinterlands
Market Driven Nodes are proposed to be in two categories
Investment Regions - Approx. 200 sq km Area (Minimum)
Industrial Areas - Approx. 100Sqkm Area (Minimum)
8
Integrated Corridor Development
Criteria for Selection of Investment Region
Each DMIC State to have at least one node to spread economic benefit
Proximity to major urban agglomerations
Potential for Developing Greenfield Ports (or) Augmentation
Availability of land parcels and established industrial base
Criteria for Selection of Industrial Area:
To take advantage of inherent strengths of specific locationsMineral Resources
Agriculture
Industrial development, and,
Skilled Human Resource base
To spread the benefits of the corridor the project will also seek to link Under-Developed Regions along the Corridor to Well Developed Regions

Project Development Fund (PDF)
Magnitude of Project and the high number of sub-project necessitates creation of a Project Development Fund:
USD 250 mn to be raised as Project Development Fund
PDF to be used specifically for all Project Development Activities to reach technical and financial closure
PDF to be a revolving fund – expenditure on Project Development to be recovered from Project SPVs
16
Commitment of DMIC States
Each State Government will notify a nodal agency to coordinate with DMICDC, State level agencies, and SPVs
Would set up the investment regions/ industrial areas in each state;
Assist in acquiring the land for setting up of infrastructure & investment regions/industrial areas
Facilitate the clearances required from the State Government
17
Project Specific SPVs
Implementation of specific components of industrial nodes
Projects to be awarded to operators with relevant clearances through a transparent bidding process
Project Operators to raise finances, to implement the projects
Independent Board of Directors for each SPV
Debts to be raised domestically and externally e.g. through JDRs
Debts could also be raised by DMICDC and passed on to SPVs
18
Soft Infrastructure for DMIC
Initiatives for Skill EnhancementSkill Development Centers planned for each investment region/ industrial areas
Streamlined Administrative ProceduresEach Node could have one or more Special Economic Zone, whose Head is empowered by the Act to grant necessary clearancesEach State Government will constitute an empowered authority foreach of the investment region/ industrial areaThese authorities to have delegated powers, from State Governments and other , to take decisions locally
Flow of GoodsGovernment of India has already announced road map for introducing a ‘Goods and Service Tax’ by 2010 which would replace central and state taxes into a unified tax regime

Key Issues in Project ImplementationThe complexity of implementing the DMIC will require rigorous detailing of all aspects of the project prior to implementation :
Engineering
Environmental
Social
Financial
Contractual, etc
The size of the project will also require to be implemented in phases. This will be critical in ensuring its sustainability
Given the involvement of multiple Ministries and multiple state governments an effective framework for co-ordination is critical
The DMIC Project involves an investment of US$ 90 bn with 60-70 different projects. An a priori strategy for the mobilization of finances to cover each phase of the project will also be critical

(iii)a medium enterprise, where the investment in plant and machinery is more than two crore rupees (US$ 444K)but does not exceed five crore rupees(US$ 1.1M);
27
SME Sector produces wide range of products :
More sophisticated items manufactured by SME sector now include television sets, electronic desk calculators, microwave components, air conditioning equipment, electric motors, auto-parts, drugs and pharmaceuticals.
Simple consumer goods to highly precision and sophisticated end-products
leather articles, plastics and rubber goods, fabrics and ready-made garments, cosmetics, utensils, sheet metal components, soaps and detergents, processed food and vegetables, wooden and steel furniture and so on.
28
SME Sector in IndiaKey growth engine of the Indian economyConstitutes 95% of all industrial units in the countryContributes more than 40% to domestic industrial outputGenerates 45% of industrial employmentConstitutes about 50% of total manufactured exports (Direct and Indirect)Produces diverse range of products (more than 8,000 – consumer items, capital goods and intermediates)
29
SME Sector – Significance in Indian contextSMEs are generally less capital-intensive and more labour-intensive.
Are best suited for countries like India, China and most of the developing world having abundant supply of low-cost manpower and bountiful natural resources.
Provide large scale employment, ensure equitable distribution of income and facilitate effective mobilization of resources of capital and skills, which would otherwise remain unutilized, particularly in rural and backward areas.
India has already established a niche in SME Development Strategy and providing excellent support in product development, R&D, financial instruments, Infra-structure, marketing and export development
Consequently, India is fast emerging as a global hub for labour-intensive knowledge-oriented business.
30
SMEs – The Most Vibrant & Potential Growth Segment
A recent World Bank Report states: “There is now widespread recognition within India that vibrant SMEs are potentially a key engine of economic growth, job creation and greater economic prosperity”.
10th Plan Document of Govt. of India states: “Growth as planned will come from a sharp step-up in industrial and services growth, spurred by SMEs”.

The biotech industry continues to grow at almost the same rate that it did in last year. The industry recorded 36.55 percent growth compared to the previous year’s revised figure of US $ 788 million. In 2003-04, there were just four companies with revenues in excess of US $ 22 million.An Ernst and Young study has named India as one of the five emerging biotech leaders in the Asia Pacific besides Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, with mainland China catching up quickly. The study ranked India third in the region based on the number of biotech companies (96) in the country, after Australia (228) and China, including Hong Kong (136).The above-expected growth will facilitate SMEs to enter into this field by setting up contract Research Organisations (CROs) and in other areas to meet the demand of US $ 3.1 billion market of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry.With the industry zooming part the US $ 1 billion mark, registering
revenues of US $ 1.07 billion, the sector has achieved a significant milestone.
