Project Development & Execution
Land & Infrastructure Advisory
Site identification and selection, land acquisition assistance, land-use conversion, industrial park and SEZ facilitation, and utility infrastructure planning.
The problem
What goes wrong without this.
Site selection is the least reversible decision in an industrial project. Equipment can be replaced and processes can be re-engineered, but a plant cannot be moved once it is built, and the site determines logistics cost, labour availability, utility cost and regulatory exposure for the life of the asset.
The decision is frequently made on the wrong criteria — land price per acre, or proximity to the promoter's existing operations. What actually drives project economics is whether adequate power can be brought to the site, whether the water source is reliable and legally available, whether the land use permits industrial activity, whether effluent can be lawfully discharged, and whether the title will survive lender scrutiny.
Title and land-use problems are particularly costly because they surface late — usually during lender due diligence or subsidy application, after significant money has been spent.

Our process
How the engagement runs
Stage-wise, with the deliverable and typical duration for each. Timelines vary with project scale and authority response — these are indicative rather than contractual.
- 1
Requirement definition
1 weekLand area including expansion provision, power and water load, effluent volume and character, logistics profile, workforce requirement and any process-specific siting constraints.
Deliverable: Site requirement specification
- 2
Location screening
2–3 weeksCandidate locations and states compared on utility availability and cost, logistics, labour, incentive regime and regulatory environment — before individual plots are considered.
Deliverable: Location comparison report
- 3
Site identification
3–6 weeksSpecific plots identified within the selected locations, including industrial estate allotments and private land, with physical site inspection.
Deliverable: Shortlisted sites with inspection notes
- 4
Site due diligence
3–5 weeksTitle chain, encumbrances, land use classification, zoning, actual utility availability at the site boundary, and any environmental or statutory constraint on the parcel.
Deliverable: Site due diligence report

Infrastructure planning
2–4 monthsPower sanction application, water allocation, approach road, site development plan and internal infrastructure layout coordinated with plant layout.
Deliverable: Utility sanctions and site development plan

Who this is for
Typical client profiles
Why NITS Corp
Why bring this to us
Sites evaluated on utilities, not on price per acre
Power availability at the boundary, lawful water source and a viable effluent route determine whether a site works. Cheap land without them is the most expensive option available.
Incentive regime factored into location choice
State industrial policy, district classification and park-specific benefits can move project economics materially. That comparison belongs at site selection, not after.
Due diligence before commitment
Title, land use and zoning are verified before money moves. These are the issues that surface during lender appraisal and stop projects that are otherwise ready.
