MahaConnect I Government of Maharashtra - MIDC Business Newsletter March, 2011

Dear Reader,

Several developing countries, particularly Asian countries including China,have realized that the road to sustained economic growth is only bydeveloping their manufacturing sector. The Indian Budget 2011 released on28 February 2011, seeks to enhance the share of the manufacturing sectorto the national GDP from the present 16 percent to about 25 percent in thenext ten years.

India, on the contrary, the service sector has remained the engine ofgrowth, with maximum contribution to GDP. The country has identified thatthis is indeed a short run solution, the latest budget illustrates that India’sroad to economic prosperity impinges up on a greater focus onmanufacturing sector. This is simply because the empirical evidenceworldwide demonstrates that the growth of manufacturing sector ensuresbroader based social development than the services sector.

Manufacturing sector in Maharashtra contributes to 18 percent of theGSDP. The state realized the importance of this sector way back andstarted building conducive environment for driving investments intomanufacturing sector. Currently the state is on the boulevard of buildingvigorous infrastructure and support policies to buoy up the manufacturingsector competitiveness. The multiple instrumentation strategies includecreation of a dedicated Infrastructure Development Bureau, with anobjective to align and have more focused and dedicated approach indeveloping infrastructure while exploring trade and investment opportunitiesglobally. This will be carried out through horizontal integration of concernedgovernment nodal agencies i.e. Maharashtra Industrial DevelopmentCorporation, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation,Maharashtra Metropolitan Regional Development Authority, Department ofIndustries and several other government intermediaries.

Further, in continuation to craft MahaConnect the best medium forinformation dissemination, we bring you the last and fifth sequence of theFive Series Knowledge Investor’s Kit- ‘Doing Business in MaharashtraReport’. Hope this series of the Knowledge Investor’s Kit providesmeaningful insights with an in-depth-information on ease of doing businessin Maharashtra State.
