The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to set up the state’s first Pharma Park in Lalitpur district of Bundelkhand. The mega enclave will cover 1,472-acre land across five villages in Bundelkhand, according to the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA). The identified villages for the survey include Saidpur (426 acres), Gadolikala (249 acres), Largan (239 acres), Karounda (116 acres), and Rampur (441 acres).
The plan, according to the UPSIDA, will unfold in two phases. The initial phase will focus on the immediate development efforts covering 300 acres of land. The UP government has allocated a budget of Rs 1560 crore for the development and provision of necessary facilities to investors in Lalitpur Pharma Park.
“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.
In order to better evaluate the operationalization of pharma units within the designated area, the UPSIDA will adopt modern surveying techniques, according to the press statement.
“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”, said the statement.
“The Pharma Park in Lalitpur is poised to become a key contributor to the pharma sector, offering economic opportunities and reinforcing Uttar Pradesh’s position on the industrial landscape,” added Maheshwari.
