The budget announced that a knowledge-based Industrial Park will come up near Baprola to cater to the specific needs of the information technology sector, ITES, media, gems and jewels and business services.

"It will be built in an area of about 77 acres at a cost of Rs 1,800 crore. We expect the work to start in the current financial year," Dikshit said.

"We intend to build a caring, compassionate, congenial, and productive city that caters to the needs of all citizens. It will be a world class city built to last," she said in her budget address.

About 22,465 new industrial plots have been allotted by Delhi State Industrial And Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) at Bawana, Bhorgarh, Narela for allotment to the industrial units functioning in non-confirming areas, she said.

 

"Construction of industrial units on 85 per cent of the allotted plots has been completed at Bawana Industrial Estate," she announced.

Proposing a budget provision of Rs 50 crore in the current fiscal for maintenance of industrial estates, the chief minister announced that DSIIDC has been assigned the responsibility to improve the maintenance of industrial estates.

The budget proposed setting up of a Green Field World Class Skill Up-gradation Centre at Jaunapur. The centre will come in collaboration with the Government of Singapore.

"A large number of educated unemployed as well as other workers will get facilities for upgrading their skills, and also enabling them to compete with the best technical manpower in the world," Dikshit said.
