As winds of industrial change
sweep Orissa, infrastructure development and government
incentives for facilitating industrial development
have become a major thrust area. Easing procedural
bottlenecks and making policies industry and investor-friendly
are now buzzwords for Team Orissa. Besides improving
the state's connectivity through roads, rail,
sea and air are on top of policy makers' agenda.
Land
Serviced industrial land complemented
with ancillary infrastructure is most critical
for development of industries, trade and commerce.
IDCO is the nodal agency in the state for creation
of infrastructure facilities in identified Industrial
Estates / Industrial Areas.
IDCO has developed 86 Industrial
Estates in Orissa which are divided into 5 categories
based on development work done by IDCO –
each Industrial Estate should identify a patch
of land for establishment of Hotels / Motels.
An entrepreneur has option to get any of 5 categories
of land as depicted in the chart below:

The Nodal Agency will scrutinize the application and forward the application to IDCO with recommendation regarding the amount of land requirement.
On receipt of the application of the entrepreneur along with plan/schedule of selected land and recommendation of Promotional Agency, IIDCO initiates the process of land alienation (for Govt. land) & acquisition (for private land). For Government lands, the alienation proposal is filled with the concerned Tahasildar whereas for private lands, the acquisition proposal is submitted to the Collector of concerned district. State Government have authorised the Collectors to alienate any quantum of Government land to IDCO without making any reference to higher Revenue Authorities. Similarly, IDCO being a statutory Corporation of the Govt., the acquisition of private land is made using the emergency provisions of Land Acquisition Act. Thus, the applications of IDCO for transfer of land are dealt by the Revenue authorities on the fast track.
The entrepreneur is required to make deposit of token amount (roughly 10% of estimated cost) with IDCO at the time of filling alienation/acquisition proposals. Balance amount is paid as soon as the alienation or acquisition is finalised by the district administration.
The cost of Government land is charged at the rates notified in Industrial Policy. The acquisition cost of private land is worked out in accordance with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act.
For availing the services of IDCO for obtaining land, the entrepreneur is required to pay service charges @ 10% of land cost
On deposit of land cost and service charges, the alienated/acquired land is first transferred in favour of IDCO and subsequently in favour of the entrepreneur through proper lease agreement.
Some of the recent efforts towards development of industrial estates / land are summarised below:
