UP govt plans ‘flat-like' factory in Greater Noida for MSMEs
Aiming to boost the medium and small scale (MSME) industries in the state, the UP government has decided to develop a flat-like ('flatted') factory space in Greater Noida with an estimated expenditure of Rs 125 crore.
The factory space will be developed by Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Sector 28 of Greater Noida.
Officials said that while the initial survey and preparations of the master plan are in process, the target is to get the project ready within two years.
'As per the plan, the idea is to provide the state-of-the-art infrastructure to MSME units in a shared complex, which would reduce their cost of production and other input costs as well. It will be provided as a fully equipped unit by the YEIDA with all the essential facilities, so that the units can start production and operations smoothly,' an official said.
Officials said that with UP already having a large MSME base, this project would help not only achieve economic targets by bringing in new investment but would also help general employment opportunities. 'The project will be on EPC model — Engineering, Procurement, and Construction — with a three-year defect liability period,' the official added.
The 'flatted' factory will have multi-storeys — a basement, a ground floor, and three floors that will all cover an area of over 38,665 square metres.
As per the project plan, along with the main multi-storied building, the government will also develop a complex for any future needs. 'The flatted factory will also have internal water supply, electricity, fire safety systems, elevators, as well as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), meeting the requirement of the MSMEs,' the official said.
Further, the government would also provide pre-installed security features like CCTV, access control, and other electronic systems, the official added.
While the design has been proposed to follow green building standards, the complex is also proposed to have 24 and 30-meter-wide roads connectivity linking it to the highway for ease of transportation of the goods.
Officials said the government would also provide boundary walls, gates, guard rooms, internal roads, parking, drainage, sewage, water supply, plumbing pumps, fire safety systems, and landscaping, which would help ease the setting up of MSME units and with a fast pace, thereby reducing other costs.

Will implement Centre's schemes in Delhi: Shivraj Singh Chouhan to farmers
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Wednesday met farmers from different parts of Delhi in Tigipur village and assured them that all of the Centre's agricultural welfare schemes will be implemented in the Capital soon. Addressing a gathering of farmers from the city's rural belts, Chouhan said, 'Delhi's farmers were left out of the central government's schemes earlier due to the previous government. The state government has to send us a proposal… I have spoken to the Chief Minister, and she will soon send a proposal to ensure these are rolled out.' Chouhan is on the last leg of his 15-day programme, Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, under which he has travelled to 14 states already and is interacting with farmers directly. 'There is great demand for fruits and vegetables in Delhi. If agriculture is strengthened here, it will not just benefit the city but also ensure India's economy grows — because even today, half our population is dependent on farming,' he said. Farmers present at the event raised several concerns, including high electricity costs, lack of subsidies, and no retail outlets for fertilisers. 'We don't get any subsidy. And if there is, the process is too complicated to understand,' said a farmer. Another noted that tractors with Delhi registration numbers are charged commercial tax, which increases their input cost, so farmers have to purchase tractors from neighbouring Haryana. A mushroom farmer from Tigipur, cultivating on just two acres, said he spends Rs 40 lakh a year and makes Rs 10-15 lakh in profit by selling directly to Azadpur mandi and contracting with factories. A strawberry grower, with 10 acres under cultivation, said he earns Rs 12-13 lakh per acre. 'We plant strawberries in October and inter-crop it with sweet corn and capsicum later. We sell to Reliance, BigBasket and local mandis,' he said. 'There are some farmers who are doing very well and earning a lot. We also need to learn their best practices' Chouhan said at the chaupal. The cost of inputs remains a problem for farmers of the national capital. 'Agriculture doesn't exist in Delhi for the government. So, our electricity is charged at commercial rates, which is extremely high,' said another farmer. 'There is also no IFFCO shop in Delhi from where we can buy fertilisers,' another said. Chouhan said the government is planning to adopt a 'One Nation, One Farm, One Team' approach. 'Policies must not be made sitting in offices. The agriculture department, research scientists, and agricultural universities must go to villages and speak to farmers. Only then can we find solutions together,' he added.

Karnataka hosts forum to steer state as premier manufacturing hub
Bengaluru: The Karnataka govt has lined up Rs 3,100 crore to provide dedicated water lines to industries in and around Bengaluru. Karnataka industries minister MB Patil said the project is expected to be completed in 18 months, hailing it as a game changer for industries. The govt hosted the first edition of the Uthpadana Manthana, a post-Invest Karnataka 2025 initiative designed to accelerate the state's vision of becoming India's premier manufacturing hub. The day-long conclave served as a strategic platform to engage directly with industry leaders and co-create a clear, actionable roadmap for industrial growth. The conclave brought together around 80 senior executives from nearly 60 companies across key sectors. These leaders engaged in focused discussions around six priority areas identified by the govt -- aerospace & defence (including space tech and drones), electronics and semiconductors, capital goods and robotics, auto & electric vehicles, technical and textiles, and consumer products such as FMCG, footwear, and toys. Patil said, "The broader objective of Uthpadana Manthana is aligned with the state's vision to attract Rs 7.5 lakh crore in investments and create 20 lakh jobs over the next five years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo The govt is also focused on scaling up merchandise exports by leveraging free trade warehousing zones, export-oriented industrial parks, and faster port access." Karnataka seeks to establish itself as India's most competitive ESDM manufacturing destination by attracting OSAT/ATMP players and strengthening the component ecosystem. " Some of the industry leaders who participated in the event include Aravind Melligeri, chairman of Aequs, Niranjan Nayak, MD of Delta Electronics, Avinash Avula, country president of Applied Materials, and Harish Hanagudu, managing director of Krones. During the conclave, sector leaders presented recommendations that were consolidated into a govt action plan for the next 6–9 months. Suggestions included integrating elective courses in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing into academic curricula with a focus on hands-on learning; improving port connectivity to Mangaluru and Chennai from industrial clusters to ease exports; and streamlining customs clearance procedures to enhance ease of doing business. There was also a strong call for the development of integrated industrial townships with plug-and-play infrastructure, last-mile connectivity, and social amenities. The need to simplify approvals for environmental and operational clearances (such as consent for establishment and consent for action), create shared factory spaces for startups, and offer incentives for apprenticeship-driven companies was also emphasised.

Off the road, there's a Rs 52,000-crore pileup while car sales hit the brakes
Healthy inventory, say carmakers Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Mumbai: Car dealerships across India are staring at unsold inventory worth a record Rs 51,000-52,000 crore-the highest ever in value terms-as manufacturers continue to push vehicles into the market despite subdued retail demand for over a the 34-38 days of stock (440,000 units) by volume up to May is still marginally lower than the peak of the 40-45-day pileup ahead of Diwali last year, the total value has hit a high due to the increase in ticket size and a build up over time, according to industry Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) pegs the inventory level even higher-at 52-53 days-raising concerns about rising working capital stress among dealerships and the disconnect between wholesale dispatches and retail translates to a marginal year-on-year growth—marking the slowest pace of growth in eight months and the lowest monthly volume recorded so far this calendar year. Retail sales lagged behind wholesale dispatches. A total of 302,214 cars were retailed in the same month, a decline of 3.14% over the same period last the persistent slowdown in movement of stock at dealerships, cars have been stuck in yards for over 50 days for almost 14 months now, against the norm of 21 days, said dealers that ET spoke to cited rising inventory as a serious concern. Hyundai and Maruti executives, however, said inventory levels in their channels are healthy. Hyundai Motor India is 'maintaining a healthy inventory level of four weeks' across its dealership network in line with industry norms, said Tarun Garg, its chief operating officer, adding that this was similar to that in the same period last Banerjee, head of sales and marketing at Maruti Suzuki India , said the numbers were an improvement over the year ago. 'Our inventory levels are much better than the previous year,' he said during a monthly sales call on June 2. 'It's to the tune of 35 days.'Some models, though, are bucking the trend and have waiting lists. These include variants of Maruti's compact SUV Brezza and people mover Ertiga, as well as Mahindra's Thar, Thar Roxx and Scorpio-N, according to Nomura. Select variants and colours of Toyota Hyryder and Hycross are also on a wait list of four to six weeks, and eight to 10 weeks, Garg acknowledged that the demand environment in the domestic market continues to be challenging. 'However, we remain optimistic in our strong fundamentals, which enables us to strategically pursue opportunities that can drive both growth and profitability,' he expects the recent interest rate cuts by the central bank and income tax relief to support demand sentiment. 'We remain cautiously optimistic in the backdrop of global trade and economic uncertainties,' said Garg. He sees the recent rate reductions, which should lower car loan rates as well, spurring demand. 'Further, the CRR (cash reserve ratio) cut will reduce the inventory cost for our dealers.'Analysts said measures such as the rate cut and reduced income tax levels will start showing results only in the second half of the financial year.'We expect factors such as lower income taxes and reduced interest rates to support demand, though the improved demand might be evident only by H2 of CY25F,' Kapil Singh of Nomura Global Markets Research said in a potential risk is the impact on production from June due to China's curbs on the export of rare earth magnets, he wrote. Crucial for electric vehicles, magnets are also used in fossil fuel-based cars, as well as the broader is maintaining its 5% year-on-year passenger vehicle industry growth forecast for FY26.
