Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
DPR objective and approach
Objective
Technology Centre in Rohtak has been proposed with the underlying fact and review of the catchment
area which has some of the leading units in Automobile, General Engineering, Leather goods and
footwear. Further a number of transformational infrastructure projects such as Kundli-Manesar-
Palwal (KMP) Expressway, Regional Rapid Transit Service and various industrial projects are
proposed and the TC can facilitate and support the MSME units coming up across this region. The TC
at Rohtak will play an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of the MSME Units in the area.
TC will focus on providing skill up-gradation, improving access to technology, and offering advocacy
support to the MSMEs with high growth potential. The long term vision is to ensure competitiveness
of the MSMEs in the eco-system by strengthening their linkages to the mainstream manufacturing
sector in the region.
The objective of this DPR is to evaluate feasibility of proposed MoMSME TC at Rohtak. This includes
assessment of the market need in the region, technology and skillset requirement, amount of
investment required, construction needed, its layout and subsequent requirements for
implementation of the green field TC at Rohtak. This DPR has been prepared in consultation with
relevant stakeholders including O/o DC-MSME, Government of Haryana, World Bank, OEMs, Tier I &
II suppliers, industry association, Government Institutes and some ancillary units in the region. This
DPR would facilitate the implementation plan of proposed TC at Rohtak.
Approach
To start with, a comprehensive secondary research was carried out to understand the tooling and
technological requirements of the General Engineering Sector and in particular of the Rohtak region.
To validate the facts, the team conducted a detailed primary research that included meetings with
various key stakeholders including O/o DC-MSME, Industrial Associations and General Engineering
units in the catchment and others as explained below.
Discussions with various stakeholders were carried out to develop better understanding of the
requirements and expectations from the proposed TC. Leading players were met in this region to
discuss and understand the various insights with respect to the tooling & other technological
requirements during the preparation of the DPR. Telephonic discussions with some of the General
Engineering component manufacturers and suppliers across various regions (such as Hyderabad,
Bengaluru, Chennai, Aurangabad and Ahmedabad) were carried out. The objective of this primary
research was to understand their business requirements, issues, challenges, and future requirements
to develop a deeper understanding of the requirements that can be served by the TCSP in future.
Based on the outcomes and the results of the discussions, market opportunity assessment was
undertaken to understand the tooling & technology demand in General engineering sector across
various stages of manufacturing.
