SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL) hopes to lease up lands to a company from outside the state for the setting up of a manufacturing unit of electrical products.

Previously, a letter was written by the then Director of Corporate Affairs, MeECL to the Director of Commerce and Industries department for leasing out MeECL land to M/S JPM Industries Limited, Haryana.

According to the letter, the company has sought permission to utilize the corporation’s land for the setting up of a factory to manufacture products, such as Smart Metering, LED lighting, solar products, and automotive parts, which will, in turn, generate employment in the state.

The MeECL has asked the Commerce and Industries department to intimate whether any statutory clearances and NOCs from the respective department of the state government have to be obtained or submitted by the firm to enable the corporation to process the matter further.
