Industrial development


The Vile-Bhagad M.I.D.C. industrial zone, which is located in Mangaon, was previously in a dilapidated state due to a lack of investment. Lately, however, the zone has increased in importance and houses several steel companies, including POSCO LTD. Moreover, Tata Power Ltd.'s hydroelectric project has greatly reduced the need for additional energy generation in the Mangaon Taluka and industrial zones in Raigad. Recently 15,000 acres (6,100 ha) have been declared under MIDC acquisition in Mangaon. Phase-2 Mangaon MIDC includes Bamangaon|Shiravli|Sakhalewadi|Jite|Titave|Maluste etc.
