Manufacturing units in the value chain will require the output / products from several other industries apart from their upstream and downstream industries for smooth running of their operations. These would comprise industries like packaging, office supplies, tooling etc. These industries have been designated to be located under the category of General Manufacturing in the DSIR.
These industries would go a long way in helping the DSIR become a self sustaining zone without being dependent on other regions for provision of critical resources for smooth running of operations.
This category of industries in the DSIR could include the following and others depending upon other core industries finally established:
- Packaging
- Ceramics
- Glass
- Office Supplies
- Plastic Products
- Technical textiles
- Tools
- Office furniture
- Bathroom fittings
- Misc. industries not included in the recommended economic activity mix
In addition, although the DSIR is envisaged to be home to a select few industry sectors. However, in future in case there emerges a need to permit a newly emerged manufacturing industry to be permitted to be set up base in the DSIR which has not been allocated area in economic activity mix of the DSIR, then this unit can be permitted to be set up its base in the DSIR under the category of general manufacturing. However, it should be an exception rather than a rule.
