MPIDC Cancels Allotment of Two Industrial Plots to Hazargo Industries
Indore: The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) has cancelled the allotment of two industrial plots in Pithampur's Sector-3 to Hazargo Industries Pvt Ltd. The decision, taken on June 2, follows allegations of lease condition violations, unauthorised activities, and the operation of highly polluting processes on the premises.
The plots, numbered 1018 and 1019, were revoked after a detailed review by MPIDC. This action comes in the wake of a massive fire that broke out at the company's premises on April 21. The fire quickly spread to at least four adjoining industrial units, causing extensive damage and necessitating a large-scale firefighting and rescue operation involving multiple government agencies.
Review Finds Serious Violations
Himanshu Prajapati, Executive Director of MPIDC Indore, stated: "A detailed review conducted after the incident found that the allotted land was allegedly being used for activities contrary to approved industrial use. We observed highly polluting and unauthorised operations being carried out from the premises, which violates lease conditions and regulatory provisions governing industrial areas."
Regulatory Compliance Required
Officials emphasized that industrial plots allotted by MPIDC can only be used for approved industrial activities. Allottees must comply with environmental, safety, and statutory norms. Any unauthorised activity or violation of industrial regulations can lead to action, including cancellation of allotments. The cancellation serves as a stern warning to other industrial units about the importance of adhering to lease conditions and regulatory standards.
