The Goa Government, through the Goa Industrial Development Corporation (Goa-IDC), is stepping up infrastructure development across industrial estates in the state, with major works focused on roads, drainage, water supply, waste management and other essential facilities.

The infrastructure push covers several industrial estates, including Verna, Tuem, Kundaim, Madkai, Pilerne, Sancoale, Bicholim, Bethora, Honda, Kakoda, Cuncolim, Canacona, Colvale, Mapusa, Shiroda, Tivim, Panchwadi, Sanguem and Pissurlem.
The works include road upgrades, white topping, hot-mix surfacing, storm-water drains and cross-drainage systems. These improvements are expected to strengthen internal connectivity and help address waterlogging, particularly during the monsoon.
