Development
Ministry of Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma has proposed the establishment of a ₹5,749 crore (US$800 million) for the first phase. The Minister said these projects are important in terms of boosting the manufacturing sector in the country as it would help in creating millions of jobs.[2][3]
States Included
The ADKIC will be spread across 20 cities in seven states: Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, extending from Ludhiana in Punjab to Dankuni near Kolkata . The cities which will covered by the ADKIC Project are Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Ambala, Saharanpur, Delhi, Roorkee, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bareilly, Aligarh, Kanpur, Lucknow, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Hazaribagh, Dhanbad, Asansol, Durgapur, Burdwan and Kolkata.[4] The corridor would be built along the 1,839 km long Eastern Dedicated Freight corridor between Khurja and Mugalsarai, and will leverage the Inland Waterway System being developed along National Waterway 1 which extends from Allahabad to Haldia. The IMG has also proposed to integrate the existing highway network.[5]
The development of ADKIC be taken up in a band of 150-200 km on either side of EDFC, in a phased manner. In the first Phase, every State could promote at least one cluster of about 10 km2. area to be called Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC), in which 40 per cent area would be earmarked permanently for manufacturing and processing activities. ADKIC will use both the Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach and non-PPP approach. The non-PPPable trunk infrastructure will be developed by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) or Implementation Agency vested with the task of setting up the IMCs, through grant-in-aid.[6]
