Taloja Industries Association (TIA) has been the most efficient association working towards the betterment of the Industries situated in Taloja MIDC.
 We have been working in all sectors including MSEDCL, addressing water shortage problems, ensuring pollution is controlled in Taloja MIDC, arranging for motorable roads in the vicinity of Taloja MIDC. 

With an idea of boosting the infrastructure and helping the Industrialists and their employees, meeting of TIA Committee members was conducted with Shri Prashant Thakur,
 Chairman-CIDCO Ltd on Monday, October 29, 2018 at CIDCO Bhavan, Belapur.

Following matters were brought to the attention of Shri Thakur, who after hearing them, assured to look into the issues-
 1) Metro-Current status of construction of two metro stations, which are coming up in Taloja MIDC, was checked. 
2) Road concretization work of 1.25km road stretch, starting from CETP Taloja to the newly constructed flyover, connecting to Roadpali.
3) Weighbridges-Requirement of additional weighbridges was highlighted to decongest traffic at Taloja MIDC. 
4) Buffer zone-Buffer zone area is necessitated, both for Industries and residential areas of Taloja MIDC. This zone can help resident’s keep safe distance
 from Industrial pollution, apart from ensuring that they don’t fall prey to Industrial hazards (if any). 
5) ESIC Hospital-Setting up an ESIC Hospital in Taloja MIDC will be a boon to multiple no. of workers who work here. 

Mr Prashant Thakur highlighted the following points to TIA Committee members and wished to know the current status-
a) Enquired status of current status of Taloja CETP and environment issues. Mr Satish Shetty remarked that CETP activities are in progress steadfastly
