Export Promotion Industrial Park

An  export promotion industrial park, second in  the  state has  been  setup  in the Boranada industrial area,  which  is  in accordance  with  the scheme of ministry of  commerce,  Govt.  of India,  which  lays  emphasis on providing  assistance  to  state govts.  for establishments of such kind of parks.
       
EPIP is proposed to be develop on 207 acres of land  within a  period of 18 months. Administrative sanction amounting to  Rs. 2285.68 lacs has been issued by the management and work  related to development of infrastructural facilities has been started. The  rate at EPIP has been fixed at Rs. 300/-  per  sq.mtr. with  a  20% rebate on first 20% sellable area  i.e.  upto  21.96 acres  of  land. A total of 265 plots have been  planned  ranging from 500 sq.m. to 4000 sq.mtrs. Out of these 248 nos. of plots have been allotted upto 31-03-2008.
       
The establishment of this park will lead to :
1. Plots  will be allotted to those industrialist who  will  be able to export 33% of the total production.
2. Allottment  of land with all technical facilities at a  comparative price.
3. This  park  will help in the increase of  exports  from  the state, specially from Jodhpur, where presently around 600 to 700 crores of export
is being done. The increase is expected upto 1600.00 crores in the next five years.

Special Economic Zone (S.E.Z.)

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are specifically delineated duty free enclaves treated as a foreign territory for the purpose of industrial, service and trade operations, with exemptions from customs duties and a more liberal regime in respect of other levies, foreign investment and other transactions. Domestic regulations, restrictions and infrastructure inadequacies are sought to be eliminated in the SEZs for creating a hassle-free environment. The SEZ Scheme seeks to create a transparent system by introducing simplified procedures for enhancing productivity and making it easier to do business.

Concessions and incentives provided by Central Government to units established in SEZ

• Exemption from Income Tax for ten years where 100% exemption for first five years, 50% for next two years and another 50% exemption on new investment for next three years.
• No import license required.
• Exemption from custom duty on import.
• Exemption from all kind of taxes / levies etc. Right from the inception of the unit to completion of construction work and establishment of plant & machinery.
• Products sold by units of domestic industrial area to the units established in SEZ will be considered as deemed export.
• Reimbursement of CST on domestic import.
• Units established in SEZ can engage in manufacturing, trading and/or service based activities.

Stainless Steels Utensils Park / Zone

For the setup of stainless steel utensil industries a special industrial area can be developed in the district. Around 110 stainless steel re-rolling units are established which produce more than 20,000 MT of S.S. Sheets but the production capacity of stainless steel utensils using this sheets is 1000 MT per month only, which is quite low. The remaining sheets are sent to Mumbai, Chennai etc. from where the utensils are manufactured and sent throughout India as well as other foreign countries, this leads to increase in cost of transportation. With the establishment of this industry in Jodhpur, the S.S. Sheets will easily utilised here and simultaneously the utensils can be send to various parts of the country and foreign counties as well.

In this context, the various industries associations of this region believe that as the Basni Industrial Area is a cluster of S.S. Sheets producing units and if the road connecting Basni & Boranada IInd. area is converted into a pucca road then it would easily be possible to setup around 100 units in Boranada.
