Adani plans to make it a combination of upskilling training centres, common facility centres for product-based and service-based entrepreneurship models, R&D centres, data centres, and MSME support desks, to name a few. A further vital aspect might be the establishment of organised and systemic markets by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). (Image: PTI)
Adani said it is one of the world's greatest urban rehabilitation and relocation initiatives. A million individuals are expected to be rehabilitated and resettled. The rehabilitation will comprise not only the relocation of residential units but also other businesses of varying capacities and scales engaged in trading, shopping and other economic transactions.
