Industries raise infra concerns before monsoon in Indore
Indore: Ahead of the monsoon season, local industries and associations have highlighted pressing issues such as overflowing drainage systems, damaged roads, and the dire need for infrastructure repairs in industrial areas.
These concerns were discussed in a meeting with the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) commissioner Shivam Verma on Wednesday
A delegation from various industrial associations, including Rolling Mill, Palda Industrial Organisation, and the Plastic Association submitted a memorandum outlining their concerns and demands. Association of Industries Madhya Pradesh (AIMP) former president Pramod Dafaria brought to light discrepancies in property tax calculations, particularly the unwarranted taxation of open land leased by the govt.
"As per the law, such land should be exempted from tax under the Municipal Corporation Act, yet industries continue to face arbitrary tax assessments. The corporation should grant tax exemptions for open govt lease land utilised by operating industries."
To enhance transparency and accountability, the delegation requested that municipal administration provide a comprehensive list of outstanding property taxes in industrial areas.
