•The Narmada main canal is passing along the western edge of the proposed
Halol Industrial site. There is a proposal for future intake of water from this
canal for supplying water in all the selected villages incurring a total
expenditure of Rs 53.45 crore. There is a proposal for a treatment plant of
the capacity of 73.30 MLD at Halol.This scheme will provide 20 MLD water
exclusively to the existing industries.
•The water supply to the existing GIDC estate, Halol is through the Narmada

Savlidelineated industrial area. Apart from the 220 KV line there are two 66
KV substations in proposed Halol site. There is a continuous 3-phase, power
supply in the region.
•The region has sufficient amount of power availability. All the 66 KV
substations are proposed to be interlinked to maintain the uninterrupted
