development. Government of India supplements their efforts through various schemes
to promote industrialization in the country, including the North Eastern Region (NER).
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has developed a
National level land bank by integrating State Industrial Geographic Information System
(GIS) with India Industrial Land Bank (IILB) [https://indiaindustriallandbank.gov.in/login1]
which provides a GIS enabled data base of industrial areas including clusters, parks,
nodes, zones, etc. across the country to help investors to identify their preferred location
for investment. The platform provides information on available internal infrastructure,
external connectivity to nodal points - airports, National Highways, railways, dry ports,
etc., available raw material, and plug and play facilities. This enables the investors to
see plot level data and availability of updated land related information in real time.
