Gujarat, the state which pioneered the concept of the Special Investment Region (SIR), will establish 12 new industrial hubs in the next 5-6 years and expects the private sector to play a leading role in facilitating the process.
"We have 12 more such projects in the pipeline, including four which have already been notified by the government. They will all be operational by 2015-16," a senior official of the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) said.
Gujarat passed an act for the SIRs and set up the first such hub -- Petroleum Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR) spread across 4.53 lakh square hectare-- in Bharuch last year.
The state government now plans to set up the SIRs to act as industrial hubs for various sectors including auto ancillaries, chemicals, healthcare, electronics and so on.
