The Maharashtra Government's package of incentives was fairly attractive: it included support from the State Government to secure industrial licences from the Centre; rebate on electricity tariffs; a cash refund of sales tax ; exemption from octroi duties; supply of iron and steel; guaranteeing of loans; contribution towards cost feasibility and payment of non-agricultural assessment. This scheme of incentives, which was announced in September 1964, was intended to achieve a balanced regional development of the State by inspiring industrialists to shift their industries or establish new ones. Other State Governments have fared no better. Gujarat's plans to develop Baroda city by dispersing industry have not made much headway. Nor has the Master Plan for Delhi. Last November, Mr. Mehr Chand Khanna confessed in the Rajya Sabha his "utter helplessness" in shifting any offices from Delhi. As for Calcutta, the CMPO has several possible solutions for urban congestion under study; the present position is not much different. The effect of suburban industrial estates on re-distributing population has been largely peripheral. The forces making for rising population and employment in cities are strong and persistent. Besides being ports, some cities are the seat of the State Government. Few industries and trades can afford to be away, especially in this era of controle and permits, from the headquarters of Government and the local centres of finance, insurance and commerce, the law courts, the stock exchange and complementary enterprises. But such rapid urban growth has resulted in increasing shortages of housing and deterioration in urban services and facilities. According to the 1961 census, cities with a population of one million and above accounted for 45.6% of the total number of industrial units in the selected categories under the Industrial Development and Regulation Act. The Town and Country Planning Organization of the Ministry of Health has estimated that urban population will increase to 114 million by 1971 and 165 million by 1981. The extent to which the pattern of industrial location can be changed within a short time is limited. Few States have thought in terms of rationalizing land distribution for industry on the one hand and housing on the other. |
