Introduction

The Government of India has identified NH4 as Chennai - Mumbai Industrial Corridor as an area

of economic growth in the coming decades. Bangalore being an IT hub and one of the earliest

industrial growth area where opportunities were created due to the presence and growth of a host

of public sector units, small and medium industrial estates like Bommasandra, Peenya , Hoskote,

EPIP etc. However, the last three decades has given tremendous opportunity for growth of the IT

sector. As a result, Bangalore could aptly be considered as the role model for manufacturing and

marketing of IT products and applications. Thus, we can consider Bangalore as a major contributor

to the economic growth of the country.

The Indian Budget for year 2014-2015 held on the 10th of July 2014 had announced that Tumkur

is one of the cities in South India to be developed as a “Industrial Smart’ city. Also the city has

been selected one among the 100 in the Country shortlisted for the Smart City project. Tumkur has

to compete now to be one among the 20 to be taken up for development this year.

Owing to its proximity to Bangalore, besides being the gateway to Karnataka and the infrastructure

that Tumkur provides, Tumkur has the Potential to be the Satellite city to De congest the State

Capital of Bangalore. And also has been identified as National Investment and Manufacturing

Zone (NIMZ). NIMZ of approx. 13500 acres and the HAL Helicopter manufacturing Facility (Nr

Gubbi) 610 acres will be developed as integrated industrial townships with state-of-the art

infrastructure and land use on the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient technology; necessary

social infrastructure; skill development facilities, etc., to provide a productive environment to

persons transitioning from the primary sector to the secondary and tertiary sectors. These NIMZs

would be managed by SPVs which would ensure master planning of the Zone; pre-clearances for

setting up the industrial units to be located within the zone and undertake such other functions as

specified in the various sections of this policy. To enable the NIMZ to function as a self-governing

and autonomous body, it will be declared by the State Government as an Industrial Township under

Art 243 Q(c) of the Constitution. In sum, the NIMZs would be large areas of developed land, with

the requisite eco-system for promoting world class manufacturing activity. They would be

different from SEZs in terms of size, level of infrastructure planning, and governance structures

related to regulatory procedures and exit policies.

History of Tumkur City.

The known history of the Tumkur district begins with the Gangas. The Ganga family ruled over

the southern and eastern districts of the State from early in the Christian era to 1025 A.D. No

inscriptions of any of the earlier families like the Banas, Satavahanas or the Kadambas have been

found in the district. The earliest record of the Ganga family found in this district belongs to about

400 A.D. After the Gangas, Tumkur was ruled by the Rastrakutas and the Chalukyas. The

Nolambas under these rulers ruled the area for a long time. The cholas also ruled some parts of the

District. The Vijayanagara Empire ruled supreme for the later part of the 13th to 17th century.

TUMKUR is the headquarters town of the district, and the Origin of name district is also called by

the same name. Popular tradition has it that Tumkur once formed part of a territory, whose capital

was Kridapura, now a small village known as Kaidala, three miles to the south of Tumkur, and

that it was presented by one of its rulers to a herald or tom-tom beater. Tumuke is the small drum

or tabret, which is used for tom-toming, and the town might have been called Tumuke-Ooru to

indicate that it belonged to the beater of tumuke. But the original name of the place, according to

certain inscriptions of the tenth century, was Tummegooru, which means the place of the tumme

or tumbe a common fragrant herb (Leucas aspera) found abundantly in the area. It is said that the

present town was built by Kante Arasu, a member of the Mysore royal family, and because the

area was clearly known as Tumme or Tumbe, he seems to have continued the same name with the

addition of Ooru for the town and called it Turnme-Ooru or Tumbe-Ooru which, in course of time,

came to be pronounced as Tumakuru.

In 1761, After the fall of Tipu, the territory was restored to the Mysore royal family, and during

the reign of His Highness the Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1811-31), Mysore State

consisted of the six Faujdaris of Bangalore, Maddagiri, Chitaldrug (Chitradurga), Ashtagram,

Manjarabad and Nagar. The present Tumkur district formed part of Maddagiri Faujdari. In 1834,

these six Faujdaris were reconstituted into the four divisions of Bangalore, Nagar, Chitaldrug and

Ashtagram. During the days of the British Commission, Mr. Bowring, was appointed as

Commissioner in 1862, divided the State into British eight districts and Tumkur district was one

of them. When the Commission was reorganized in 1879, the posts of Commissioners of divisions

were abolished and there was only one Chief Commissioner for the whole State. The districts were

put under the charge of Deputy Commissioners, and Assistant Commissioners and Amaldars were

in charge of sub-divisions and taluks, respectively. A new sub-division, with Tumkur as its

headquarters, was established in January 1938 with a view to relieving congestion of work in the

other sub-divisional offices of the district. Tumkur became a major trading town only in the later

part of 1880.

The Spurt in the Population of Tumkur Town only happened after Independence. In 1947 the

population of Tumkur was around 35,000 only, and in 1961 it was 47277. The Population of

Tumkur started increasing rapidly after the setting up of HMT watch Factory by GOI in 1978.

Industrialization made Tumkur what it is today. The Development of NH4 Bypass through

Batawadi and Sathyamangala galloped the development of Residential layouts in the area around

the Highway.

Survey report of Tumkur City of 1906.

We can see that only a few areas of Tumkur were developed and it was a very small town. Only

few areas like central Tumkur like Chickpet, Aralepet, Horapet, Grama Tumkur and Krishna

Rajendra Extention were habited and the rest of the areas were agricultural lands. The approximate

population then was 10000.

The Tumkur Town Municipality was set up by the British and Mysore Wodeyars in the 1920’s.

Self-Rule of the Residents of Tumkur started after the setting up of the Municipality. Tumkur was

converted into a city Corporation only in 2010 by adding 22 villages adjoining the city. The

Population is 3,05,877 as per the 2011 census.

Tumkur is now a middle class majority city, mainly comprising of Traders, Government

Employees, Small and Medium Industrialists, Self-employed Individuals Etc. The Total collection

5 | TDCCI


of Income tax in the last financial year was approx. 60 Crores. The aspirational level of the Citizens

is very high due to the proximity to Bangalore.

Map of Tumkur - 2015

You can see the Development of the Areas and the city is now 48.6 Sq Kms. The city has approx.

510 kms of road’s.

The City over the Years has developed as a calm city and a Satellite City. The City Dwellers have

a laid back attitude due to the availability of all the services within a kilometer of their homes.

across approx. 50 Sq kms and is bounded by Kunigal Taluk in the South; Sira talukin the North,

Gubbi taluk in the west and Nelamangala Taluk of Bangalore Rural Dist. in the East. The

Population of the district is 26,81,449 (2011 census) with Tumkur City Corporation Limits having

a population of 3,05,821 (2011 census).

The City has a university and is famous for its technical educational institutes. Over 2,000 beds

are available across Public and Private Hospitals.

The district headquarters is located at Tumkur. The district occupies an area of 10,598 square km

and had a population of 26, 81,449 according to the 2011 census (Tumkur District at a Glance,

2011-12). The district is predominantly rural, with the rural population accounting for 80.14 per

cent of the total population. The urban population was 19.86 per cent of the total population in the

district. The district is known for the production of Coconut, is called as 'Kalpataru Nadu'. It is

bounded by Chitradurga district on the North Western side, Hassan District on the Western side,

Mandya district on the Southern side, Bangalore (Rural) district on southeastern side, Kolar district

on the eastern side and Andra Pradesh state on the North Eastern side. It lies between 13020’ N

Latitude and 750 05‘Longitude.

It consists chiefly of elevated land intersected by river valleys. A range of hills rising to nearly

4,000 feet (1,200 m) crosses it from north to south, forming the watershed between the systems of

the Krishna and the Kaveri. The principal streams are the Jayamangala and the Shimsha. The Water

for Tumkur City is Supplied from The Hemavathi river thro’ canals from Hassan Dist. The mineral

wealth of Tumakuru is considerable; iron is obtained in large quantities from the hillsides; and

excellent building-stone is quarried.

The Average annual rainfall in this City is 670 mms. Tumkur has a Literacy rate of 80.66 per cent

well above the district average of 74.32 per cent.

The per capita income taluk wise has been estimated only for one year, i.e., for 2008-09 by the

Directorate of Economics and Statistics, and this was made available to us. At current prices, the

per capita income in Tumkur City was Rs. 49,119 which was the highest among all the taluks. At

constant (2004-05) prices the district per capita income was Rs. 40,379.

1.4 Economic activities of Tumkur

Agriculture is the key economic activity in the region. The major Cash Crops are Paddy, Ragi and

Groundnut and the Plantation crops are Coconut and Arecanut. The Net District Domestic Product

(NDDP) of Tumkur at current prices is Rs.9694 crores, which is roughly 3.2% of the state

Domestic Product.

Tumkur is home to 24 large scale industries with an investment of 911.42 crores and generating

an employment for 6445 persons. The existing 15 medium scale industries and 23804 micro and

small Industries employ 132994 persons and account for an investment of close to 790 crores.

The proximity to Bangalore is one of the biggest strengths of Tumkur which makes it a natural

extension point for industries that has been forced to look at alternative locations due to the large

influx of the information technology and BPO related entities which has put intense pressure on

land prices in Bangalore. Tumkur also has a large iron deposit which is the most important

ingredient for the steel industry. The mining activity in Tumkur will also pick up because of the

limitations on the mining of iron ore from Bellary region.

The oldest Industrial Estate inside the city is more than 10 acres and has many Small Industries

and Export Units.

Chapter 3

Growth Prospects of Tumkur and impact of NIMZ

3.1 Proposed Industrial growth up to 2025:

The National Manufacturing Policy observes that the concern about the stagnant and low share of

the manufacturing sector in India‘s GDP has necessitated a dedicated policy for the sector to

accelerate development, provide for inclusive growth and increase availability of gainful

employment. To this end, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has

formulated the “National Manufacturing Policy”. The Planning Commission’s “Approach Paper

to the 12th Five Year Plan” has also mooted a National Manufacturing Plan. Both these policy

instruments aim fuelling industrial growth through a holistic approach.

13 | TDCCI


Under the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP), it is proposed to set up National Investment

and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ). The National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs)

will be developed as integrated industrial townships with state-of-the art infrastructure and land

use on the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient technology; necessary social infrastructure;

skill development facilities, etc., to provide a productive environment to persons transitioning from

the primary sector to the secondary and tertiary sectors. These NIMZs would be managed by SPVs

which would ensure master planning of the Zone; pre-clearances for setting up the industrial units

to be located within the zone and undertake such other functions as specified in the various sections

of this policy. To enable the NIMZ to function as a self-governing and autonomous body, it will

be declared by the State Government as an Industrial Township under Art 243 Q(c) of the

Constitution. In sum, the NIMZs would be large areas of developed land, with the requisite eco-

system for promoting world class manufacturing activity. They would be different from SEZs in

terms of size, level of infrastructure planning, and governance structures related to regulatory

procedures and exit policies.

It is proposed to develop the Tumkur region as an NIMZ. Tumkur, which is fairly near to

Bangalore, will be an ideal place since it is already acting as an extension for Bangalore as

far as industrial development in concerned. The NIMZ will house all facilities such as

dedicated industrial zones, residential zones, commercial zones, education zones, healthcare

zones etc.

The KIADB is already in the process of land acquisition to the extent of 45 sq. kms (13500 acres).

Of these, approximately 23 sq. kms is within the Tumkur taluk and rest in Sira and Gubbi taluk.

This is a very positive development since the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) stipulates that

the land requirement for the NIMZ may be drawn from any of the options below:

i) Preferably in waste lands

ii) infertile and dry lands not suitable for cultivation

iii) Use of agricultural land to the minimum

iv) All acquisition proceedings to specify a viable resettlement and rehabilitation plan

v) Reasonable access to basic resources like water

vi) It should not be within any ecologically sensitive area or closer than the minimum distance

specified for such an area.

The existing small and medium based industries such as rice mills, dolomite power industries,

granite cutting and polishing, cement hollow bricks, RCC spun pipes, poha mills, oil mills,

vermicelli, condiments, coir products, briquetted fuel, coconut shell powder and wire cut bricks.

Tumkur District is home to 24 large scale industries with an investment of 911.42

crores and generating employment for 6445 persons. The existing 9 medium scale and

23804 employ 132994 persons and account for an investment of close to 790 crores as

of March 2012.

14 | TDCCI


Further, the Karnataka Small Scale Industries Development Corporation has developed 8 industrial

estates. Tumkur also has a large iron ore deposit which is the most important ingredient for the

steel industry. The mining activity in Tumkur will also pick up due to limitations on the mining of

iron ore from Bellary region.

3.2 Opportunities & Demand projections

There are limited reference points available to outline the demand projections for the industrial

sector. However, several references are available to the manner in which the industrial growth of

the nation should span out. These have been described both in the Planning Commissions

“Approach Paper to the 12th Five Year Plan” as well as the National Manufacturing Policy floated

by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Planning Commission’s approach paper observes that though the Eleventh Plan targeted growth

in manufacturing at 10.0-11.0 per cent, actual performance is estimated to be only about 7.7 per

cent. It is a matter of concern that the manufacturing sector has not shared in the dynamism of the

economy not just in the Eleventh Plan, but even in preceding Plan periods. As a result, the share

of the manufacturing sector in GDP is only 15.0 per cent in India, compared with 34.0 per cent in

China and 40.0 per cent in Thailand. It further observes that the manufacturing sector

manufacturing must provide a large portion of the additional employment opportunities as opposed

to agriculture for India’s increasing number of youth. On the contrary it should be releasing labour

which has very low productivity in agriculture to be absorbed in other sectors. While the services

sector has been growing fast, it alone cannot absorb the 250 million additional income-seekers that

are expected to join the workforce in the next 15 years. Unless manufacturing becomes an engine

of growth, providing at least 100 million additional decent jobs, it will be difficult for India’s

growth to be inclusive.

In order to further the manufacturing sector growth, the Planning Commission has recommended

the following strategic objectives for bringing change in the manufacturing sector in the next 15

years:

i) Increase manufacturing sector growth to 12.0–14.0 per cent over the medium term to

make it the engine of growth for the economy. The 2.0 to 4.0 per cent differential over

the medium term growth rate of the overall economy will enable manufacturing to

contribute at least 25.0 per cent of GDP by 2025

ii) Increase the rate of job creation in manufacturing to create 100 million additional jobs

in India by 2025

iii) Emphasis should be given to creation of appropriate skill sets among the rural migrant

and urban poor to make growth inclusive

15 | TDCCI


iv) Increase domestic value addition and technological ‘depth’ in manufacturing

v) Enhance global competitiveness of Indian manufacturing through appropriate policy

support

vi) Ensure sustainability of growth, particularly with regard to the environment

The Karnataka Industrial Policy 2014 also lays down emphasis on promoting industrial

development. The mission statement of the policy states the following:

i) To create enabling environment for robust industrial growth

ii) To ensure inclusive industrial development in the State

iii) To provide additional employment for about 10 lakh persons by 2014

iv) To enhance the contribution of manufacturing sector to the State’s GDP from the

current level of 17% to 20% by the end of policy period.

Thus, it is amply clear that the industrial sector will receive significant push in the future from

both the central government as well as the state government. It is expected that the Indian

economy will reach the US $ 6 trillion mark by the year 2020. In order to aid the achievement

of this size of GDP, the key growth drivers will be industry and services. Industry is expected

to increase its share in the GDP from the current 15% to over 25% by 2020.

3.3 Development Needs, Public needs & Planning Considerations

The industrial output in India has been languishing over the past couple of years. Despite being a

key sector of the economy, the industrial segment contributes only 15% of the Gross Domestic

Product (GDP). This indicates that the value addition of the industrial sector is still low and

requires concentrated efforts in order to push industrialization and thereby value addition and

employment generation on a large scale. The National Manufacturing Policy provides a window

of opportunity to focus on soliciting industrial investments through the establishment of National

Investment and Manufacturing Zone.

Karnataka has been one of the pioneers in the industrialization. In order to further consolidate its

leadership position in soliciting investments, Karnataka should provide an enabling environment

to potential investments in the industrial sector.

The National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) will be an ecosystem which can

become a model for industrial investments in the country. It will provide for a perfect environment

for industrial investments and will also become a demonstration model for achieving industrial

growth in consonance with holistic growth.

The establishment of an NIMZ will spur development which will provide a boost of economic

activity in the vicinity of the NIMZ and will also translate into an array of employment

opportunities for the people at large. The concentrated investments will also provide a boost to the

economy of the state and Tumkur City through the multiplier effect and will also help the state

showcase the success and thereby solicit more investments.

Chapter 4

TUMKUR BY 2025 AND LATER PROJECTS

There are two major developments which will have a significant (major) impact on the growth and

development of Tumkur

The Government of India, through the Department of Industrial Promotion has proposed Tumkur

as a major Manufacturing Corridor. The proposed investment is around 22000 crores as per the

present figures and HAL has acquired 610 acres for setting up of a Helicopter manufacturing plant

with direct Job creation of 5000 and investment of around 3000 Crores.

The current status is that KAIDB has acquired 12000 acres of land for the development of

manufacturing industries and the development work is under progress.

These are expected to be high technology manufacturing zones in

1) Automobiles

2) Biotechnology

3) Mechanical-based

4) Agro-based

5) Defense-related industries

6) Food Industries

7) And others

The second major initiative will be that the Present Planning Budget has announced the

development of 100 Tier II cities as “Smart Cities” and Tumkur is one among the identified cities.

It is proposed that the Central Govt. will Fund 100 Cr. every year and the State Govt. and the ULB

has to match 100 Cr. Every year for developing the same.

4.1 Implications

The present economic growth of Tumkur is 10%-15% which is the normal growth due to various

normal economic changes without any external or internal interventions.

The two major initiatives by the Government of India is likely to create a major spurt in the

economic scenario of the silent and docile Tumkur in to a major booming, growing economic

global hub in the country and state.

It’s worthwhile that we discuss the few growth components in order to create preparedness and

faces the changes and look forward to planned growth rather than a haphazard unplanned growth

city.

4.2 Industrial growth

17 | TDCCI


At present Tumkur is bestowed with 23,804 Micro small scale industries as on 31.03.2012 with an

investment of 689.64 crores and about 132235 people engaged directly. There are 110 rice mills.

Apart from this, there are 24 large and medium scale industries, with an investment of 1014 crores

of which 7 are multinational companies.

The National Manufacturing Policy has proposed to set up a National Investment and

Manufacturing Zone as per 12th Five Year Plan. It has proposed to emerge as a major

manufacturing corridor with an investment of 6 trillion USD. 100 million job creation is being

planned and the GDP is proposed to increase to 15-25% and the increase in manufacturing capacity

is projected to grow to 12%-14% (6 trillion USD translates to 36,000 crores in Indian currency).

Impact of this: with a few assumptions; 1. Medium scale industries could employ 10-20 persons,

on an average of 15. 22,000 units will mean 3,30,000 in the coming years (Skilled, unskilled,

managerial) In case of a large unit, this will mean more.

The second issue is, units are going to outsource many activities like supply of raw materials,

component development by small units, may be 5 to 10 units. (a)Thus, these 22,000 units will

engage larger number of personnel, which means an additional manpower / job creation of

7,00,000 (b) similarly, forward linkage will mean another 1,00,000 persons. (c) Thus a total of

A+B+C leading to 500,000 to 6,00,000 manpower will be employed as per the NIMZ project.The

second aspect will be that a number of small, micro units will emerge on account of NIMZ.
