1. Amritsar-Delhi-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (ADKIC)
Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion
Government of India

2. Introduction
Amritsar-Delhi-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (ADKIC) proposed using Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) as the backbone.
EDFC traverses 1839 km in 6 States of Punjab, Haryana, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand & West Bengal. ADKIC will include Uttarakhand also.
ADKIC will cover 20 cities in these seven States.

3. Inter-Ministerial Group
Inter-Ministerial Group constituted in June 2013 comprising key Central Ministries/Authorities:
Secretary, DIPP Chairman
Secretary, Planning Commission
Secretary, DEA
Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development
Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways
Secretary, Ministry of Shipping
Chairman, Railway Board
Chairman, Inland Waterways Authority of India

4. Inter-Ministerial Group (contd…)
Terms of Reference
Assess the feasibility of setting up ADKIC.
Recommend structural & financial arrangements for its operationalization.
IMG held three meetings. States also consulted. Final Report sent to PMO on

5. Need for ADKIC Growth is necessary for: Inclusion;
Imperative for providing jobs; and
Addressing Trade Deficit.
“Manufacturing has to be the backbone of our growth strategy over the next decade…. If we have to grow at 8-9% in the future, this has to come through sustained growth in manufacturing, particularly labour-intensive manufacturing. Manufacturing & manufacturing alone can absorb all those who need better livelihood opportunities.” (PM’s address). .

6. Adkic: concept
ADKIC to be developed using EDFC as backbone in a band of kms on either side of EDFC, in a phased manner
In Phase-1, one Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) of 10 sq Km each to be developed in each of 7 States.
40% land in IMC to be permanently earmarked for manufacturing and agro processing.
IMC could be greenfield or brownfield with an Anchor Industry in each cluster.
PPP mode will be encouraged for development of infrastructure. Non-PPP able trunk infrastructure to be developed through grant-in-aid.
Clusters to be organised in a way so as to take advantage of National Manufacturing Policy (NMP), 2011

7. Rationale for ADKIC: Growth
Since , periods of high GDP growth coincided with periods of high manufacturing growth.

8. Rationale for ADKIC: Employment
To harness demographic dividend by providing quality jobs. Agriculture can not be expected to provide more jobs whereas service sector has low employment generation.

9. Rationale for ADKIC: Trade balance
Trade deficit high at $73.4 billion (April-August, ). Export growth is best promoted by export of manufacturing goods particularly hi-tech goods. Internationally countries with high trade surplus are also countries having robust manufacturing base.

Low cost housing for workers in clusters proposed with focus on use of public transport.

17. Addressing The Challenges: capital
Relief from Capital Gains Tax on sale of plant & machinery of a unit located in IMC in case of re- investment within a period of three years for purchase of new plant & machinery in any IMC.
Relief on sale of residential property for reinvestment in equity of a new start-up SME manufacturing unit for purchase of new plant and machinery.
Tax pass through for venture capital funds focusing on SME in manufacturing.

18. Addressing The Challenges: capital (contd…)
Investment by insurance companies in Venture Capital Funds with a focus on SMEs in the manufacturing sector.
Creation of a separate fund with SIDBI using the shortfalls against MSE credit targets for commercial banks.
Stock exchange for SMEs- 2 SME exchanges launched in Mumbai.

19. Addressing The Challenges: Environment
