What is meant by common infrastructure in Mega Food Parks?

• A. Shared facilities such as water and power supply, effluent treatment, testing labs, cold storage, godowns, roads, and infrastructure
• B. Shared administrative offices only
• C. Exclusive water supply only
• D. None

Answer: (A)

Common infrastructure in Mega Food Parks means the shared facilities that serve all units in the park, enabling smooth operations and cost efficiency. These are the core utilities and services that every tenant can access, rather than something owned by a single entity. Think of water and power supply to keep processing running, an effluent treatment plant to handle wastewater, testing laboratories for quality checks, cold storage for perishable products, godowns for storage, and the internal roads and related infrastructure that connect everything. This setup reduces duplicate investments for each unit, helps maintain uniform standards, and supports small and medium-scale processors to compete effectively.

Options that describe only administrative offices or only a single utility don’t capture the full range of shared facilities required to support multiple units. Hence, the broad mix of utilities and services listed above best describes common infrastructure.
