The Trans Thane Industrial belt developed by MIDC in mid sixties witnessed a sharp growth of industries in terms of number of units, capital deployed, employment and turn over. Most of the industrial units continue to be high capital incentive industries. The basic petro chemical units like NOCIL and Herdillia Chemicals were set up in late 1960s. This is followed by setting up a large number of chemical industries such as Polythelene Plastic and Resins, Synthetic Tanning Agents Leather, PVC Products etc. The Thane Belapur Industrial belt had 72 industrial units in 1974. This has been increased to 533 in 1984 and 1931 in 1990. Now there are about 2,300 industrial units with an employment of over one lakh with an annual turn over of more than 10,000 crores.
