INDUSTRIAL ESTATES
Over the past few years, the Union Territory has brought an enormous improvement in its infrastructure facilities which have served as a basis for industrial growth. In percentage terms, the contribution from industrial sector has shot to 45.77 % from 33.62 %, which clearly underlines a massive growth.
Encouraged by the same, a number of other industries are also looking forward to expand their horizons to Pondicherry. This may give a boost to Pondicherry property market by producing a demand for both the commercial spaces and residential units. Moreover, the city sure shows a lot of promise in varied aspects.
Apart from the active support of manufacturing units, high concentration of prominent hardware producers such as IBM, WIPRO, such as IBM, WIPRO serve as the add-on features responsible for Pondicherry’s infrastructure. Most of these industries run sizeable operations here.
Also, Pondicherry has a fairly proficient technical workforce for the software industry though it needs to underpin its IT training to stay in step with the present market demands. In the wake of such activities to come, the Union territory is certainly to rise in the commercial real estate sector.
The Govt. of Puducherry had initially started three industrial estates in the Territory in order to motivate the industrial development. Later a Corporation for industrial development has been established in the year 1974 viz. Pondicherry Industrial Promotion, Development and Investment Corporation (PIPDIC). Then the corporation has taken over the infrastructure development for industrial promotion. Four industrial estates were developed and allotted to the needy entrepreneurs.
