A. BACKGROUND Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd(UPSIDC) is a public

sector undertaking of the Government of Uttar Pradesh spearheading the

development of industrial infrastructure in the State since the last 56 years a pioneer

in development of industrial areas, we have delivered iconic industrial Areas ,

townships & Industrial Parks on more than 42000 acres of land, which houses more

than 26,000 units providing direct employment to lacs of people. Providing

contemporary infrastructure facilities and services to our entrepreneurs as our

objective, we strive to build on our strength as a pillar of the pulsating industrial

ecosystem of Uttar Pradesh that contributes toward the economic, development of

the State in particular & the Country in general. To cater to the modern demands of

High-tech quality infrastructure, the Corporation has ventured into many new areas

by developing High-tech integrated industrial townships like Trans Ganga and

Saraswati High-tech cities and also sector specific industrial areas like Plastic Park,

Agro Parks, Apparel Park, Leather Park , among others.

Food processing industry in India has gained prominence in recent years. Availability

of raw materials, changing lifestyles and appropriate fiscal policies have given a

considerable thrust to industry’s growth. This sector serves as a vital link between

agriculture and industrial segments of the economy. Strengthening this link is of

critical importance to reduce wastage of agricultural raw materials, improve the value

of agricultural produce by increasing shelf-life, fortify the nutritive capacity of food

products and ensure remunerative prices to farmers as well as affordable prices to

consumers. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has launched Infrastructure

Development Scheme of Mega Food Park to provide state of the art infrastructure for

food processing in the country and to provide a mechanism for producers,

processors and retailers to work together to build the supply chain for enhanced

value additions.

UPSIDC intends to allot land to entrepreneurs and /or consortiums desirably having

experience in food processing industry and/or development and management of the

Industrial Parks for developing Mega Food Park at industrial areas Khimsepur,

district Farrukhabad , Baheri, district Bareilly and Kosi kotwan extention II, district

Mathura . The Developer/Implementing Agency/SPV (referred as developer here

onwards) will undertake preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) , financial plan

,development plan & implementation plan.The developer shall play a lead role in

developing the project, bear development cost of the park and take up marketing &

promotion of the park to attract investments from units in the Food Processing

segment.

UPSIDC will consider to allot land for implementation of the above mentioned Mega

Food Park Projects on the basis of the EOIs received.

B. PROJECT OBJECTIVE 1. To give an impetus to entrepreneurs/investors who are interested to setup or

develop food Park for promoting food processing industries in Uttar Pradesh.

2. To provide ready to use land parcels with basic infrastructure for

entrepreneurs/investors interested to set up units within the Park.

3. The expected outcome is increased realization for farmers, creation of high

quality processing infrastructure, reduction in wastage, capacity building of

producers and processors and creation of an efficient supply chain along with

significant direct and indirect employment generation.

C. PROJECT CONCEPT 1. The proposed Park is to be developed as a state-of-the-art industrial Park for

concept that aims to establish direct linkages from Farm to Processing to

Consumer Markets. This structure is based on a Hub and Spoke model. The

success of a Mega Food Park is hinged on the efficient logistics that link the

CCs to PPCs to CPC.

3. The spirit of the Mega Food Parks Scheme is to facilitate setting up of only

food processing industries. Accordingly, only food processing industries that

make food products fit for human/animal consumption may be permitted to be

set up in the Mega Food Parks. Packaging facilities of food products as

ancillary to the food processing industries may also be allotted land in the

Mega Food Parks.
