HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation will make its land allotment process transparent by seeking only online applications for setting up industries.
As per new online process launched by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Chairman S. Siva Rama Subrahmanyam here on Thursday, an entrepreneur could upload his application in the APIIC's website www.apiic.in for a plot in any industrial park in the 15 APIIC zones in the State.
Anyone can access
Anyone could access the website to know about applications and allotments.
Disclosing this in a media conference, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director B.R. Meena said that the sanctioning committee would consider only applications uploaded online for the land allotment.
The applicant would also mention in his online application the type of industry, project report, investment proposed, employment potential etc.
