Second food park in Auric after Shendra five star
There is a food park in Shendra five star industrial estate. In all, 54 plots in this food park have been allotted for food processing industry. After this, the entrepreneurs had also started production by constructing all the plots. But due to various reasons, about 40 percent of the industries here have stopped their production. Some of these entrepreneurs have started other industries on their plots while others have leased them out. It is known that some plots are lying unused.
