He noted that many industrial areas currently lack proper infrastructure, particularly in terms of water supply. Of the total funds, Rs 2,000 crore will be allocated for the water supply system, while Rs 3,000 crore will be used for infrastructure development, new industrial zones, and land acquisition.
Devaraj Gowda, a real estate developer, said that this move will have a significant impact on the real estate growth around these industrial zones. The introduction of dedicated river water supply systems and other infrastructure improvements will not only enhance the productivity of industries but also create a ripple effect that boosts the real estate sector.
“Industrial growth is always a catalyst for real estate development. Workers and professionals will seek housing nearby, and businesses will look for commercial spaces to support the industrial workforce, leading to a surge in real estate activities. The allocation of Rs 2,000 crore for the water supply system ensures that industries will have a reliable resource for their operations, attracting more companies to set up their bases in these regions. The government’s infrastructure push in industrial zones will create a balanced ecosystem, benefiting industries and driving sustained growth in the real estate market around these regions,” Gowda added.
The government is also planning to establish startup parks in Bengaluru and Belagavi. Patil announced that land has been identified for the first startup park in Bengaluru. Additionally, the government is planning to establish another software park in Belagavi, focussing on the Med-Tech sector.
Officials said that the establishment of a startup park in the city will significantly boost the city’s startup culture. “The new startup park will act as a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship. By providing state-of-the-art infrastructure, mentorship programs, and networking opportunities, it will nurture emerging startups and help them scale more efficiently. This initiative not only reinforces Bengaluru’s reputation as the Silicon Valley of India but also attracts global investors and talent. Additionally, focussing on sectors like Med-tech in Belagavi diversifies the startup ecosystem, fostering growth in specialised industries and contributing to sustainable economic development across the region,” added an official.
