The Resources like Water, Waste Management. Drainage System, Roads, Electricity are the major pillars of the Industrial development. The focus on these Pillars is required to improve the Resources, Infrastructure and improve basic amenities.

Hubli-Dharwad have six Industrial Layouts covering around 4200 Acres of Land and one more layout is in proposal. As such the Local Civic Body has to gear up and own the Responsibilities for providing conducive environment for Industrial Growth. The major hurdle appears to be Jurisdiction since the Industrial Layout have developed either by KIADB and KSSIDC. The Areas needs handing over to Civic Body for development.

The Development of City is on back foot since the planning is absent. Past several years City has grown and Vehicular Traffic has increased manifold. In market areas 2 Wheelers and 4 Wheelers are also parked on footpath thereby bringing pedestrians on main roads. Globalization has also effect on Hubli-Dharwad and many commercial complexes have mushroomed without adequate parking space.

Such being the case the Civic Board Body has to work hard to maintain the building laws and granting permission for occupation. The strict adherence to civic law, world give great impetus for City Discipline resulting in Economic Development.
