IDC to supply power in industrial estates
PTI, PANAJI | 06 July 2013 12:46 IST
The Goa Government-run Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has been entrusted with the task of supplying power to industrial units set up in its estates by sourcing electricity from the feeder.
“Whatever amount of power is required for a particular industrial estate, it would be provided to IDC,” Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said.
The Goa Government intends to start this new mode of transmission to the industrial estates six months from now.
Parrikar said that the Verna industrial estate would be the first one to take up such a project.
“The supply would be provided through bus bars (a line connecting feeder to the transformer) to the IDC which will have to manage the internal distribution of power to the industrial estate,” Parrikar said.
He clarified that the entire idea of roping in IDC for the distribution of electricity is in conceptual stage, and no decision is taken by the Government.
Parrikar said that the industries would be taken into confidence before switching over to this new mode of power distribution.
The Chief Minister also announced that the floor area ratio for industries would be increased from the existing one to 1.5 so that the units can expand within the available space, after paying charges to the Government.
“This increase in FAR will also be applicable for the hotel industry provided they abide by certain conditions,” Parrikar said.
