Jamshedpur, April 18: The Jharkhand Industrial Area Development Authority (JIADA) has drawn up an elaborate plan to provide land to industries at Dugni in the adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan district, located around 25 km away from Jamshedpur.
Sources said that JIADA would allot plots of different sizes, ranging from 0.50 acres to 35.48 acres at Dugni which is emerging as an industry hub.
“The Adityapur industrial area has become saturated and there is no land for industries. Keeping this in view, JIADA is offering plots to industrialists in Dugni, around 20km from the industrial zone. The plots, which will range between 0.50 acres and 1.83 acres, will cost around Rs 16.95 lakh per acre,” said a source in JIADA.
JIADA will also provide infrastructures like roads, water and electricity. It wants to develop Dugni as Kolhan’s industrial zone.
Notably, the hazardous waste management plant, an important component of Adityapur Auto Cluster Limited (ASCL) is also functional at Dugni. Several other housing and commercial projects are also coming up here.
