Uttar Pradesh govt to build a 1472-acre pharma park in Lalitpur

New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh government is establishing a Pharma Park in Lalitpur, Bundelkhand, covering 1472 acres across five villages. The plan, guided by Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA), will unfold in two phases, with an initial focus on immediate development efforts covering 300 acres of land.

The identified villages for the survey include Saidpur (426 acres), Gadolikala (249 acres), Largan (239 acres), Karounda (116 acres), and Rampur (441 acres).

“Under the able guidance of Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, the UPSIDA has come up with a comprehensive plan to conduct survey, and for this an invitation for hiring suitable surveyor is in process. We have invited applications for the selection of a survey agency through e-tender under fixed bids process. The selected agency will complete processes soil testing, contour mapping and topographical investigation,” said Mayur Maheshwari, CEO, UPSIDA.

Modern surveying techniques, such as digital total stations, DGPS, and drones, will be used to ensure precision in the survey process. The resulting map, created on a scale of 1:4000, will be based on benchmarks established by the Great Trigonometric Survey of India. In addition to mapping, the agency will conduct soil testing using established procedures, including borehole drilling, sample collection, and comprehensive testing. This approach aims to evaluate the availability and quality of resources within the designated area for the operationalization of pharmaceutical units.

UPSIDA is also taking steps to expedite development projects at Site-1 and Site-2 in Orai, along with the Plastic City project in Dibiyapur. The Plastic Park, spread across 274.4 acres, encompasses industrial units, residential areas, and basic infrastructure. UPSIDA is actively seeking agencies to provide layout guide maps, sectoral maps, and gantry signage boards.

“The establishment of the Pharma Park and the acceleration of associated projects mark a strategic move by the Uttar Pradesh government towards fostering industrial growth and economic development. The utilization of modern surveying techniques underscores a commitment to precision and efficiency in the planning and execution of these initiatives. As the survey progresses and development efforts gain momentum, the Pharma Park in Lalitpur is poised to become a key contributor to the pharmaceutical sector, offering economic opportunities and reinforcing Uttar Pradesh’s position on the industrial landscape,” he added.
