The Deputy Minister stated that limited industrial land and inefficient use of existing plots are major concerns. He said the ministry will work with current allottees to improve productivity and capacity, while issuing notices to holders of idle or under-developed plots to either vacate or submit development plans. If they fail to respond within three months, legal action will be taken to repossess the land and reallocate it to active investors through park committees.

For idle/under-built plots, we have issued notices to vacate or present plans; failing response within three months, we will take legal action to repossess and reallocate to active investors through the park committees.
