Industrial Estates are a cradle set up by the government for the growth of small scale sector. These are specific areas zoned for industrial activities in which infrastructure such as roads, power and other utility services are provided to facilitate the growth of industries and to minimize impacts on the environment.
An Industrial Estate is an area of land set aside for industrial development.
