ANDHRA PRADESH The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation hasbeen entrusted with the responsibility of setting-up industrialestates throughout the State, providing basic infrastructure such assheds, internal roads, power, drainage etc. A common complaint of the SSI entrepreneurs is that the cost ofdeveloped plots sold by APIIC is high compared to the cost ofsimilar property and facilities that can be privately acquired.Moreover, there is widespread criticism that the infrastructure inthe industrial estates is not properly maintained by the APIIC. 6. The Government will introduce a scheme to be calledthe "Critical Infrastructure Balancing Scheme" underwhich funds will be made available to industrial estatesto identify the Development Programme for theestablishment of some critical infrastructure in theexisting industrial estates. 7. POLICY. The policy to provide infrastructure support to SSIs throughindustrial estates will be continued and strengthened. Theme Parks such as Software Park, Apparel Export Park,Biotech Park Leather Park etc. Captive mini-power plants special industrial water supply schemes for the new industrialestates, besides the normal infrastructure such as roads, sanitation,street lighting etc., will be made integral parts of the projectswherever found necessary. 8. A State level organization to be called the Andhra Pradesh SmallScale Industries Development Authority will be set up to promotethe development of small scale industries in the State . One of the important tasks of the Authority will be to coordinatethe activities of all the agencies involved in the development ofinfrastructure for industries. The task of this Authority in the area of infrastructure will be to:Ensure that all essential facilities are provided in an integratedmanner to the industrial estates.Check if the cost of the developed land and services is reasonable 9.
