Tripura - Industrial
Development Corporation (TIDC)
Tripura Industrial Development Corporation (TIDC)
was incorporated in the year 1974 as a company under
the Company's Act, 1956 with the basic objective to
promote industries and to create a healthy industrial
environment in Tripura. With this view TIDC is required
to play the role of a catalyst in the development of
the state. Particularly, it is required to perform the
twin role of State Industrial Development Corporation
and State Financial Corporation. The activities and
preformance of the corporation are given below
Functions and objectives
The basic objectives of TIDC can be classified in the
three major heads:
* Development
of infrastructure facilities.
* Industrial
promotion.
* Extending
financial assistance to the prospective entrepreneurs.
To promote industries in state, it is necessary to
develop proper infrastructural facilities in the form
of industrial facilities in the form of industrial areas.
This is particular necessary if potential entrepreneurs
are to be invited from outside the state as they expect
to get ready infrastructure. TIDC is acting as nodal
agency of the state government for implementation of
different centrally sponsored schemes.
Growth Centre
TIDC is implementing a growth centre at Budhjangnagar
near Khayerpur, about 10 Km from Agartala. The total
land is 240 acres. The total project cost is Rs. 15
crores. The preliminary works like acquisition of land
and contour survey have been done. After development
of plots with infrastructural facilities, the same will
be alloted to the entrepreneurs. The growth centre will
be based on natural gas utilization both as fuel and
feed stock. In addition to other facilities, the growth
centre will include shopping centre, power station,
telephone exchange, school, hospital etc.
Integrated Infrastructure
Development Centres (IIDCs)
The new scheme is a scaled down version of Growth Centre
Scheme. The total area and the project cost of each
centre would be about 40 to 50 acres and Rs 5 crores
respectively. It has been decided to set up these centres
and the North, South and Dhalai districts of Tripura.
Export promotion and Industrial park
(EPIP)
There is also a proposal for setting up an Export Promotion
Park to encourage the export oriented units (EOUs).
The EOUs will be housed in the proposed park. There
are potentialities for handicrafts, handlooms and fruit
processing industries for export.
Industrial promotion
Despite its natural resources and comparatively high
the literacy, the state has failed to take off industrially.
All four districts of the state are 'No Industry District'.
TIDC is playing a vital role for economic development
of the state through planned industrialization.
Tripura's resource potential lies in natural gas, rubber,
horticulture, bamboo, sericulture and tourism. The resources
are to be utilised with timely planning for industrial
and economic planning.
