    State Governments

    India has a federal system of government with clear demarcation of powers. The states deal with subjects of law & order, agriculture, sales tax, minor minerals, electricity, health, education, irrigation, water supply, minor ports, roads, etc. India has 28 states and 7 Union Territories. Some states have bicameral legislature comprising of Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and Legislative Council. Only few states have Legislative Councils. Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) are directly elected while members of Legislative Council are elected indirectly. The leadership of the executive is drawn from and is responsible to the Legislature. Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers constitute the elected executive.

    With liberalization of Indian economy, both domestic and foreign investors now mainly require to interact with state governments and local bodies for seeking various regulatory approvals and for getting land and necessary infrastructure.

    Most of the state governments have set up a number of industrial parks with necessary infrastructure for power, water, roads, etc. Investors could take land on lease or purchase land from the state level corporations for setting up their units. These industrial parks have been developed either by State Industrial Development Corporations, State Infrastructure Development Corporations or by private sector or in joint sector. Many states provide single window clearance for many regulatory approvals and for getting infrastructure for units being setup in these industrial parks. Some of these parks are also for specific sector such as information technology, biotechnology, food processing, garments, etc.

    The following regulatory approvals may be required for setting a unit:

    • Building plan approval by local body
    • Permission under Factories and Boilers Act from the Inspectorate of Factories and Boilers
    • Permission from Inspectorate of Electricity for safety of power system
    • Permission from State Pollution Control Board for certain type of industries
    • Approval from Labour Department ?
    • Approval from Drugs Inspectorate for manufacturing pharmaceutical products

    Infrastructure required for setting up a unit may be obtained from the following agencies:
    • Power Connection from the State Electricity Board
    • Water supply connection from the local body/Water Authority or the other relevant agency
    • Land could be taken on lease or bought from agency running an industrial park or could be bought from private individuals
    Telephone connection as well as Internet connections could be taken from a number of players providing these services from public sector or private sector
