Employment Statistics

• Total direct employment by manufacturing
  industries in Pune Around 4,00,000
• Indirect employment estimate (Labor not on the
  rolls but which is on contract) Around 4,00,000
• Thus, total employment created by manufacturing
  sector in Pune Region is around 8,00,000

Power Prime hurdle for Industrial Development

• Pune needs an immediate relief from this
  shortfall. Hence increasing power supply capacity
  in Maharashtra is of utmost importance
• Group Captive power plants and islanding of Pune
  Region to be encouraged .
• Since there is availability of Gas, it should be
  utilized for setting up peaking power generation
  plant in next 12-18 months to meet all our
  power requirements.

Power Supply and Demand Position
MSEDCL Power Supply and Demand Position
(CEA) Central Electricity Authority Peak demand
Peak demand for Pune circles is 890 (MW). The
quota of Pune from MSEDCL grid is 600- 650 MW.
Punes demand is increasing at 10 per
annum SourceMSEDCL data

Octroi Major Impediment

• Amongst the major cities , Pune is the only one
  that has Octroi levy
• Due to it procedural aspects- it gives rise to
  discretionary assessment , corruption, wastage
  of time ,fuel , higher transaction cost of goods
  and services, higher carbon releases in the air
  causing pollution etc.

12
Water Pollution

• There are around 5525 industries with total
  effluent generation of about 14500 MLD
• 290 Units that discharge hazardous waste of about
  600 M3 per day ,needs treatment.
• Existing STP are using about 120 of their
  capacity
• Hence raw sewage other than from industrial waste
  floods the rivers

13
Issues and Problems of Pune/ MIDC

• Industries are already paying MIDC for fire
  fighting services. Hence it is imperative to have
  a proper infrastructure of fire stations.
• Patrolling scheme, removal of encroachments in
  MIDC areas are other areas that one needs to look
  at
• Although Industrial License is not required when
  Industries are located in the designated areas of
  MIDC, members are asked to obtain and renew
  license from Corporations .

14
Public Transport

• Efficient public transport either under ground or
  elevated tracks .
• High Capacity Mass Transit Light Railway
  ( HCMTLR) projects are required to tackle
  increasing Traffic.

15
MAHARASHTRA MATHADI, HAMAL AND OTHER MANUAL
WORKERS (REGULATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND WELFARE)
ACT 1969

• Current Issues
• Irregular and unjustified demands of wage
  increase
• Imposition of unsuitable (education, attitude,
  hygiene and habits) Mathadi workers
• Extortion of money
• Registration of those already doing the so called
  Mathadi work is not done
• Stoppage of work
• Low productivity, poor quality
• No cognizance, corrective as well as preventive
  action by Mathadi Board to deal with
  indiscipline

16
Roads Inadequate and Underdeveloped

• Existing intra-city and inter-city roads need to
  be widened and bettered
• Truck Parking on the outskirts prevent them from
  entering the premises
• Expedition of coordinated signals
• Expansion of synchronized signals that are camera
  based for a smoother traffic flow

17
Government Policy

• Early declaration and implementation of IT /
  Animation Policies and other such policies.
• Early implementation of various government
  projects.
• Effective coordination between Government
  Departments and Agencies.
• Simplification and rationalization of
  Infrastructure and regulatory policies.
• Rationalization of statutory provisions and
  procedures.

18
International Airport for Western Maharashtra
Overdue since 10 years

• Essential for Pune Region Growth
• MIDC should acquire the land under its existing
  act and hand it over to MADC for development
• Put up the project for PPP
• Pune is a perfect location since there is no
  international air transport hub between Singapore
  and Dubai
• An International Airport in this Region will
  Boost state Economy
• Early and timely action required else risk of
  losing the project to neighbouring states.

19
Futuristic Outlook

• International Exhibition Centre
• Upgrading the facilities at the existing Airport
• Independent International Airport
• Natural Gas supplies for transportation, power
  generation and industrial use
• Mass Rapid Transportation System
• Several Special Economic Zones under
  implementation/planned
• Several Hotels coming up
• Pune to be one of the few wi-fi cities of the
  world
