UP govt nod for MSME Industrial Estate Management Policy, 10% of all plots & sheds to be reserved for SC/ST entrepreneurs

The state government has given a green signal to the 'Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Industrial Estate Management Policy' aiming to promote industries through easy land allocation, better facilities and better management. The policy reserves 10 per cent of all plots and sheds for SC/ST entrepreneurs. If no eligible applicant is found, the plots may be reallocated to other categories to keep development on track, the government said in a statement. The government said Uttar Pradesh happens to be India's most populous state with the second-largest economy and the policy would help boost investor confidence with better infrastructure and transparent processes, targeting an industrial landscape that meets global standards. Under the new Industrial Estate Management Policy, the allocation of land, sheds, and plots available in industrial estates will be done on lease/rent through auction or e-auction modes. The lease/rent period will be determined by the Commissioner and Director of Industries, who will also have the authority to select the auction portal. Up to 20% of the area may be allocated for commercial, service, or residential use. Considering the state's geographical diversity, reserved prices have also been fixed for industrial plots for 2025–26. For instance, for the Madhyanchal region the reserved price will be Rs 2,500 per square metre. A hike of 20 per cent has been allocated in Pashchimanchal region at Rs 3,000 per square metre, and 20 per cent lower in Bundelkhand and Purvanchal regions at Rs 2,000 per square metre. The rates under the policy will increase annually by 5 per cent on April 1. As a special arrangement, if an anchor unit is likely to spur significant MSME growth in an industrial estate, the government may offer plots at preferential rates. The successful bidders in an e-auction will have to pay 10 per cent of the reserved price as earnest money. The remaining amount will be paid in lump sum, within a year, or maximum three years. For bidders making immediate payments will also be eligible for a 2 per cent discount. For those who opt for the installment plan, 12 or 36 equal monthly installments will be applicable, attracting additional interest as a penalty for any payment delay. Industrial estates will be equipped with common facility centres, power substations, fire stations, women's hostels, dormitories, crèches, eco-friendly parks, training institutes, and health services. The Commissioner and Director of Industries have been assigned to implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) for land allocation, property transfer, revitalisation, subletting, division and surrender.

Mercedes says top-end car portfolio continues to drive growth in volatile mkt

Agencies Mercedes-Benz India Mercedes-Benz India on Tuesday said its top-end model range continues to drive growth for the automaker amid a volatile business environment. In an interaction with PTI, Mercedes-Benz India MD and CEO Santosh Iyer said that the overall domestic luxury car market growth is pegged at around 4-5 per cent year on year. He noted that demand is flattish as compared to last year for the industry. "Considering all the geopolitical developments happening around us, the growth may not be there as much as what we have seen in the previous years, but it is still there," Iyer stated. For Mercedes, the top end vehicle and core segments continue to grow while the entry level vertical has de-grown, he noted. "With eight launches in 2025, our top-end luxury vehicle strategy has been very successful, garnering immense customer response and elevating the desirability of Mercedes-Benz in the market," Iyer said."So yes, we are not seeing that double-digit kind of growth momentum that we saw in the previous year, but still, flattish to single-digit growth is there," he noted that while there are some headwinds, the industry is also witnessing some tailwinds, which augur well for the growth in the coming quarters. Iyer cited GDP growth projections and record GST collections this year as some of the positive factors."Obviously, macros are strong and they should not affect the fundamental position. But yeah, it's a volatile market, for sure," he added. The German Luxury carmaker on Tuesday launched AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe priced at Rs at 1.35 crore (ex-showroom, India).
