Multiple Industries of Taloja MIDC like Eskay Dyestuff, Forstar Food, SKM Steel Processors, Choksey Chemicals, SISCO Research, Indu Corporation, Indo Expo, Sharon Bio Pharma, Resin and Plastics, Modychem, Fabila India etc participated in the meeting.
Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) had called a meeting of Industries in Taloja MIDC on March 3, 2022. This meeting was to discuss about Property tax bills. Multiple Industries of Taloja MIDC attended the meeting. Venue of the meeting was - Adya Krantiveer Vasudev Balwant Phadke Auditorium, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road, near Rotary Garden, Panvel, Maharashtra 410206. Objective of the meeting was to resolve doubts about the annual rent value, rate charged, area, zone and other doubts about the Property tax bill. Senior PMC officials explained about the various components and calculations of the Property tax bill. Many of the Industries, who participated in the meeting, queried about calculation breakup of Property tax bill, period for which the bills were raised and premises of Industries on which taxes were levied. The Deputy Municipal Commissioner (Tax), PMC-Shri Ganesh Shete, who chaired the meeting, answered the queries of the Industries. To resolve the burning issue of Property tax, in the best interest of the Industries, Shri Satish Shetty (Anna)-Hon President Taloja Industries Association (TIA), decided to form a Sub-Committee. Further, this Sub-Committee will work on various modalities to arrive at an affordable Property tax structure which can be borne by the Industries. Once this process is complete, a mega meeting of member Industries of TIA will be called in the next week to appraise the Industries about developments on the subject.
Majority of the Industries in Taloja MIDC had approached Taloja Industries Association (TIA) to share their concerns about exorbitant PMC Property tax bills, which is around 8 times of the previously charged Property tax bills. These Industries requested TIA to intervene and find out ways to resolve the impact of the problem. Acknowledging this important concern, TIA arranged a meeting with the Industries. As discussed & finalized in this meeting, it was decided that Industries will fill up the PMC’s Objection form, with respect to the Property tax bills, and submit it to PMC Navde office, before 11th February 2022. This implied that Industries, which fall under the local villages of Taloja like Navde, Pendhar, Padghe, Tondre, Devichapada, Ghotcamp, Ghot, Koyna, Dongrichapada etc, who had any objection about the PMC Property Tax bill, could raise their respective objections, and send it across to the Navde office of PMC. Many of the Industries, who participated in the meeting, queried about calculation breakup of Property tax bill and about the period for which the bills were raised. Hence, it was decided in the meeting that a Google format will be designed and circulated to Industries by TIA, which have got certain details which are required to be asked from Property Tax Department officials at Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) office. Further, in this meeting, Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) commented that we will request grace time from senior PMC officials, till 15th April 2022, for Industries to raise objections about the bill. This was because many of the Industries in Taloja MIDC had still not received the bills. In its mission to protest paying the inflated PMC bill, Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) requested for consensus from Industries, by choosing one of the below steps- . a) Discuss with senior most PMC officials, as well as Urban Development Ministry, to find out a solution to the problem. b) Taking the subject up legally, to obtain a stay order on bill payment, after consultation with the lawyers. In addition, Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) also remarked that implementing Industrial Township is the ideal way to beat payment of Property taxes to PMC. Most importantly Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) said, Taloja MIDC Industrial area, spanning 2139 acres, belongs to MIDC and Industries have taken their plots on lease from MIDC. This means that the principal owner of the land is MIDC. Thus, technically, PMC should ideally raise the Property tax bill to MIDC, and Industries are willing to continue to pay Service charges to MIDC. In this context, if MIDC gives the land to Industries on a free hold basis, then Industries would continue to pay property tax directly to PMC.
Taloja Industries Association (TIA) had been approached by many Industries, who are common members of Chamber of Association of Maharashtra Industry (CAMIT) & Taloja Industries Association (TIA), requesting help in shifting the MSEDCL power staggering day from Friday to Sunday. In line with this goal, on the request of CAMIT, a meeting was called by Dr Nitin Raut, Honourable Cabinet Minister - Energy on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022, at Mantralaya. Agenda of the meeting was - To address the long pending issue of shifting the power staggering day at Taloja MIDC, from Friday to Sunday. Representing CAMIT, the meeting was attended by Dr Dipen Agarwal President, Shri Saurabh Shah Treasurer, Shri Hemant Bhuta - Steel Chamber of India (SCI) and Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) - Hon President Taloja Industries Association (TIA). Also present in the meeting were Shri Dinesh Waghmare Secretary Power, Shri Sanjay Taksande Director Operations MSEDCL and a fleet of other officials. The power staggering subject was discussed at length. As explained by Dr Dipen Agarwal and Shri Satish Shetty (Anna), Dr Nitin Raut understood the gravity of the problem. He directed his officials to explore a way to help the struggling steel & engineering units of Taloja MIDC. Further, Dr Raut also advised to check the interest level of all Industrial sectors in Taloja MIDC in shifting the power staggering day to Sundays. It is for this reason, TIA requested Industries from all sectors of Taloja MIDC, like Engineering, Chemical Pharmaceutical, Food processing, Glass, Gas, Petrochemicals etc, to give their feedback whether it is ok for their business operations to shift the Power staggering to Sundays. This feedback, once received from the Industries, will be submitted to Dr Raut for further consideration and approval. Correspondingly, CAMIT & TIA are also attempting to shift the MIDC water staggering day to Sunday. This effectively implies that, if approved, Sunday will be a common day of Power & Water Staggering, as requested by the Industries in Taloja MIDC.
On 20th January 2022, 4:30pm Taloja Industries Association (TIA) arranged a meeting of the Industries in Taloja MIDC with Shri Jitendra Sonawane, Senior Inspector Taloja MIDC Police station (SHO). Venue of the meeting was Hotel Tanish Residency, Taloja MIDC. This meeting was held especially for the Industries to interact with Shri Sonawane and discuss about the various issues faced by them which are related to law & order, labour issues etc. Following points were discussed to provide assistance to the Industries – a) Industries interacted with Shri Sonawane and shared their thoughts on law and order situation in Taloja MIDC Industrial belt. b) Shri Sonawane appreciated the help extended by the Industries in installing CCTV cameras in different parts of Taloja MIDC Industrial area by utilizing their respective CSR funds. He added that there are additional locations in Taloja MIDC area which require high definition (HD) cameras. Further, Shri Sonawane mentioned that it will be meaningful to place cameras of the Industries, outside their respective Industry gates, in different directions. This will help in crime tracking and case conviction, as it becomes an official submission at the court. Further, Anna added that CCTV cameras are also available on rent or can be purchased by the Industries. c) Shri Sonawane remarked that as Taloja MIDC is a big area, patrolling the entire stretch is very important, to control and manage the law & order situation. Hence, with the objective of boosting patrolling of the Taloja MIDC area on a regular basis, Shri Sonawane requested Anna if Industries could help in donating a Bolero vehicle to Taloja MIDC Police station. Anna said he would take up this request with the Industries. d) Shri Sonawane advised the Industries that identity details of permanent, contract, temporary workers, who are employed by the Industries for any type of official activities (housekeeping, gardening, security etc) should be collected and stored by the Industry. Similarly, identity details of truck drivers/helpers, who are engaged by the Industry, should also be collected and stored. He remarked that this step will go a long way in crime detection, because if any kind of law & order situation arises, this information collected by the Industry will be very helpful to the Police station. Shri Sonawane added that format of identity details, to be collected by the Industries, will be shared by Taloja MIDC Police station to TIA and it’s member Industries very soon. e) Shri Sonawane was exemplary when he shared his mobile number with the industries and asked them to contact him if they needed any help in future. He also said he is accessible to the Industries at any point of time, either directly or through TIA. f) Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) mentioned that when Taloja MIDC Industrial belt was setup, local villagers had given up their land for the said purpose. Therefore, in light of this undeniable fact, it becomes imperative for the Industries to employ the local workers on priority, provided that their skillsets and availability cost are in sync with the requirement of the Industries and present market rates. This way, a healthy ambience can be created in the area, which ensures that the local villagers are being given due importance by the Industries. TIA also said meetings of similar kind will be aligned in the future as well.

On Saturday, 18th December 2021, Taloja Industries Association (TIA) arranged a meeting with Shri Suresh Ganeshkar-Chief Engineer MSEDCL at Hotel Tanish Residency, Taloja MIDC. This meeting was held especially for the Industries to interact with Shri Ganeshkar and discuss the various issues faced which are related to MSEDCL. Following points were discussed to provide assistance to the Industries – a) In the current scenario, whenever a Transformer of any Industry fails, MSEDCL Taloja MIDC team needs to fetch it from their branch at Bhingari (Panvel). This step inadvertently delays the uptime of power outage of Industries, as it takes around 2 days for the transformer to reach the Industry at Taloja MIDC, post necessary approvals from MSEDCL. It is for this reason TIA proposed that there was an urgent requirement of spare transformers and poles, which should be available readily with Assistant Engineer MSEDCL Taloja MIDC. Shri Ganeshkar understood gravity of the problem and assured that 5 spare transformers would be available at all times, in the office of Assistant Engineer-MSEDCL Taloja MIDC, from today i.e. Monday, December 20th 2021. b) Shri Satish Shetty (Anna)-Hon President-TIA talked about the requirement of utility vehicles, to carry Transformers and other electrical accessories, which are necessary when there is a power shutdown. Shri Ganeshkar said MSEDCL would arrange the vehicles, either through contractor or on a permanent basis. c) Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) mentioned about segregating electric supply between Industries and the local villages like Pendhar, Devichapada. This would make sure that electrical failures at villages would not affect the Industries, whilst power outage at villages should not affect the Industries. Shri Ganeshkar said he would work on this project and respond. Anna requested this project should be taken on priority and completed before a pre-defined period. d) Shri Satish Shetty (Anna) highlighted about minimizing power outages at Taloja MIDC Industrial belt. Shri Ganeshkar said he would execute the Ring Network project, which would make sure that the MSEDCL backup network goes live, whenever there is a power outage issue in Taloja MIDC. e) Shri Amit Madan of Taloja Steel Service Centre requested for a grace period to pay the electricity bills. Shri Ganeshkar responded that all Industries should pay the bills promptly, as MSEDCL cannot afford to give additional time to pay. This is because MSEDCL is already allowing 60 days to pay the bills, calculated from the time of utilizing the power to the time the bill is raised to the Industry. f) TIA requested Shri Ganeshkar to provide Electricity bill payment facility in Taloja MIDC area- at the level of Assistant Engineer MSEDCL. g) One of the member Industries pointed out that the old rusted poles and feeder pillar boxes need replacement, as it causes power supply interruptions to the Industry. MSEDCL agreed to carry out a detailed survey of such locations and to be rectified immediately at appropriate level. Anna said that the rusted poles should be replaced with hot dip galvanized lights, which lasts for over 80 years. He, further said, wherever upgradation work is going on currently, all MS poles need to be replaced by hot dip galvanized poles. ? h) Shri Ganeshkar explained about the MSEDCL upgradation project of Rs. 10 crore value, for SSMR-II Taloja MIDC region, tenders for which have been floated already.

Following Industrial issues were discussed with CIDCO. These issues will remain the long term and short terms goals of TIA, in the larger interest of the Industries. If you wish to supplement a CIDCO related problem, with TIA, you are free to share-
a) Metro Rail- Mr Satish Shetty (Anna) expressed that there is no proper mode of connectivity in Taloja MIDC area. Hence, the status of building Metro stations inside Taloja MIDC was discussed.
TIA emphasized that building the two metro stations (station nos. 12 & 13) will be a boon, both for the Industries as well as their employees. Apart from this, residents of Taloja area can also avail the facility. Further, Mr Satish Shety (Anna) said that Metro stations, from 1 to 11, will not have commercial viability for Cidco, if Metro is not connected to Taloja MIDC area. This is because 3 lakh employees work out of Taloja MIDC. Dr Mukherjee understood the problem and said he would take up the matter ahead.
b) Status of completion of Road Concretization of 1.25km road stretch, starting from Taloja CETP, to the flyover, connecting to Roadpalli, was discussed-This is the 2nd entry road into Taloja MIDC area. Half of the road is completed. Mr Satish Shetty (Anna) expressed his satisfaction about the way CIDCO and its contractor (Mr. P.P. Kharpatil) had gone about completing a speedy job and, further, hoped that CIDCO would continue to put up a similar splendid job, till the complete road is concretized. Dr Mukherjee assured that he will try to complete the project by May 2021. Mr Satish Shetty (Anna) requested that he was hopeful about Concretization work being over by December 2020.
c) Road towards Pendhar Metro station- TIA stressed the need to have a road, going towards the upcoming Pendhar Metro station, which will originate from the engineering zone (block A, B, C, D & E) of Taloja MIDC Industrial Area. Mr Mukherjee said that the work would be taken up for feasibility.
d) New Flyover required- TIA requested CIDCO to consider building a flyover, which will run from Roadpalli (Kalamboli), crossing the old Mumbai Pune Highway, going towards Taloja MIDC. Dr Mukherjee agreed and said that construction of the flyover is being planned by CIDCO. TIA appreciated the planning done by CIDCO.
f) Truck Terminus- TIA requested CIDCO to consider allotting plot for building Truck Terminus. This move will decongest truck traffic in the area. Mr Satish Shetty (Anna) said that CIDCO plots are available, which can be reserved to create Truck Terminus. Dr Mukhejee queried about who would operate the Truck Terminus, if the plot is allotted by CIDCO. Mr Satish Shetty (Anna) responded that TIA can do it on its own, or can arrange Operators for the project. Further; Dr Mukherjee suggested that an auction can be called to initiate the subject.
g) Weighbridges- TIA emphasized to CIDCO to allot CIDCO plots in Taloja MIDC area for putting up Weighbridges. Dr Mukherjee said he would work on the same and try to explore if any plot can be allotted.
h) Buffer Zone required- TIA remarked that Buffer zone area should be demarcated in Taloja MIDC, as it is critical to have the zone, both for Industries and residential areas. This would keep the residents safe during Industrial disasters. Mr Mukherjee said he would look into the matter.
i) ESIC Hospital- Taloja MIDC generates employment to over 3 lakh people and majority of these people fall under the category of availing ESIC services. Hence TIA explained to Dr Mukherjee that presence of an ESIC Hospital, in Panvel area, will be a boon to all. Dr Mukherjee said that CIDCO will be keen to support such a hospital project, if ESIC is willing to execute the project. CIDCO advised TIA to initiate this activity, coordinate and arrange a joint meeting. Further, Dr Mukherjee remarked that he would take up the matter with the ESIC Commissioner.
