The annual growth rate of foundry industry after relocation to the park is expected to be much higher than that it would realize in the existing set-up. Infrastructure and common facilities of international standards will enhance quality and productivity with reduced production costs and would thus enhance the competitiveness of the industry. The park will have provision and infrastructure for technology transfer, Research & Development and marketing set-up.
