The Delhi Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has approved the creation of two common facility centres (CFCs) in the Badli and Bawana industrial areas, with a total investment of Rs 60 crore.

The project will be implemented under the Union government’s Micro and Small Enterprises–Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP). These centres aim to provide shared industrial facilities, helping small businesses access advanced technology and machinery they might not afford individually. As Chief Minister Gupta explained, “These Common Facility Centres will bridge the gap faced by small entrepreneurs in accessing modern technology and expensive machinery. They will improve ease of doing business for micro and small units and strengthen industrial clusters.”

Each centre will cost an estimated Rs 30 crore and include modern machinery, testing labs, training facilities, and infrastructure for product quality improvement. The project will also incorporate environmentally sustainable production features, such as effluent treatment systems and green technology support.
