Dear Editor,
Through esteemed columns of your leading newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the Central Government on BHAVYA scheme worth launched to develop 100 plug and play industrial parks worth ₹33,660 Crores . Below mentioned are my views on the subject:-
BHAVYA Scheme: Industrial Boom or White Elephant?
The Centre’s ₹33,660 crore Bhavya scheme to develop 100 plug & play industrial parks sounds visionary yet it risks becoming another bureaucratic white elephant. Allocating four months for states to rush applications for 50 parks under a competitive model is recklessly hurried. True industrial hubs require meticulous environmental impact studies & robust logistics not politically motivated hasty approvals. Furthermore with 20 parks targeted in just the first two months quality will inevitably be sacrificed for speed. Instead of creating hollow concrete zones the Commerce Ministry must mandate strict 80% pre occupancy commitments from anchor investors before releasing funds. True success lies in matching infrastructure with actual market demand not merely meeting aggressive cabinet timelines.
