Food processing plant expected to be ready in six months

The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has started the process of developing infrastructure for the proposed food processing park on 50 hectares of land adjacent to the existing Godavari Wine Park at Vinchur, 60km from Nashik.

The proposed food processing park is expected to be ready in six months; it will be the first food processing park in Nashik. Some have already approached MIDC to set up units there.

According to TOI, an official from MIDC said, "We will soon start with the infrastructure works like road, water supply and streetlights at the proposed park adjacent to the existing Godavari Wine Park at Vichur, near Nashik. We have already floated a bid for the purpose and the tender process is expected to be completed within a month," adding that MIDC would spend Rs 3.5 crore for the infrastructure and will start allotting plots once the park is developed.

“Some food processing industries have already submitted their proposals with their land requirement for setting up units in the proposed park. The food processing units include processed frozen foods, mango and other fruit pulp, raising making, onion powder, biscuits, cookies, papad, pickles, tomato products, bakery and confectionery and fruit juices," in a statement he said.

The state government had developed the Godavari Wine Park on 133 hectares in 2001 to boost wine industry. Of the total 133 hectares, the wine park had been developed on 83 hectares, while the remaining 50 hectares are still undeveloped. Only five wineries have started operations so far. Following demand from industrial associations, the state government agreed to develop a food processing park for food processing industries on 50 hectares.

Sanjiv Narang, president, Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association, said, "There is huge scope for food processing industries in Nashik and the proposed park will definitely boost the industry here. This will not only fetch investment, but will also create employment at large." Source@TOI_June12,2016.
