Fostering Pathways For Faster & Inclusive Growth: Niti Aayog Perspective 15 Aug, 2021
Fostering Pathways For Faster & Inclusive Growth: Niti Aayog Perspective 15 Aug, 2021
The current tourism trend in Daman is mainly centered around the domestic tourists
from the nearby towns and cities like Surat, Nasik, Mumbai, etc. of the states Gujarat and Maharashtra. They are
either leisure tourists or business / conference tourists. In Diu, tourists are mainly from the neighbouring state of
Gujarat including few foreign tourists. Diu, inspite of having the right environment to grow as a tourist
destination, has restricted tourist arrivals mainly due to the difficulty in accessibility to Diu, and constraints in
tourism infrastructure.
The Major Tourism drivers and attractions in Dadra & Nagar Haveli are the
rich flora and fauna in the forest areas as well as the beautiful lake nestled
at the border of Maharashtra and Gujarat around the Madhuban dam of
Gujarat.
Advantages over other States
• There is no entry tax, octroi tax or turnover tax levy on the production of goods.
• These UT's offer close proximity to key business centers of Mumbai, Surat, Pune, Vadodara and Ahmedabad
through a widespread network of rail and road as well as an excellent internal network of all-weather roads.
• Power tariffs in Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli are the lowest amongst all state and UT's, standing at an
average (domestic and non-domestic) of INR 3 per units in Daman & Diu and INR 2.75 per unit in Dadra & Nagar
Haveli.
• The labour climate is also peaceful and harmonious, with the general population having literacy rates higher than
the national average.
•The UT's are also well equipped with communication network through STD, ISD to all important places, national or
international, as well as broadband internet connectivity.
•Omnibus Industrial Development Corporation (OIDC) is a multipurpose organization performing diverse activities like
housing, industrial estates, promoting tourism quality liquor, branded computers and providing raw material to the
industrial units in the twin Union Territories of Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli. Unlike other states, where
there is separate Govt. corporations to look after these specific activities, these union territories have a single
Corporation performing all these activities, thus avoiding multiplicity of government bodies and expediting the
process. Recently OIDC has been declared as Infrastructure Development Corporation and the administration has
entrusted all the big infrastructure projects to OIDC.
