Leading from the Front

Poets have waxed eloquent about the natural splendours of Goa.

At Goa Industrial Development Corporation (Goa IDC), we have been gearing up industry for the last three and half decades and have tried to maintain a balance between business, leisure and the environment.

To start an industry one needs, first of all, land and finding the land is what we are best at. Leave it to us - the acquisition, the clearances, the fine print.

We have so far established twenty-two industrial estates. We speak from experience. We are setting up many more industrial parks.

As you see, an impressive list. We'll do it for you too. Goa is both investor-friendly....and environment-friendly.

 

Trading Culture and Major Port

Goa takes great pride in the port of Mormugao - a major, modern and thriving port, the highest exporter of iron ore in the country.

In addition a new, massive outer harbour is on the drawing board.

New projects on the anvil include:

  • Software Technology Park.
  • Integrated Infrastructure Development Scheme Park (IID).
  • Growth Centres.
  • ASIDE

 

Friendly People, Healthy Environment

Goans are courteous, intelligent, diligent, honest. Justifiably famous for their hospitality.

But did you also know that:

  • Goa has one of the highest per capita income ratios in India.
  • One of the highest literacy rates, 82.32%.
  • The lowest birth rate, 18 per 1000 population.
  • The lowest death rate, 7.47 per 1000 population.
  • The highest road network density.
  • The highest doctor-to-patient ratio.
  • The highest hospital-bed-to-population ratio.
  • The lowest crime rate.
  • Harmonious industrial relations.

 

Electric Atmosphere

Goa's 'power base' is strong and well distributed. It's brightly lit bridges, roads and highways is illuminating testimony to this fact. Even the smallest hamlet in Goa is electrified.

Goa receives 394 MW from the Central Generating Stations besides 48 MW from Reliance Salgaoncar Power Co. Ltd. The maximum demand in Goa is of the order of 305 MW. There is thus more than adequate supply to meet the demands of uninterrupted power by the industrial sector.

Goa is committed to excellence through E-Governance.

Information Technology is fuelling both economic prosperity and human achievement. E-Governance will empower both the common man and entrepreneurs to eradicate red tape and ensure the formation of an effective, transparent and responsive administration.

Given its small land-mass, Goa welcomes tech-savvy industry.
