The Form also contains the details of the investment, means of finance and employment generation capacity of the project.

The PEAL is a combination of 2 services – “Project Evaluation” and “Allotment of Land”. The first section of the form asks for company and project details. In the later part, the applicant is asked to fill in land and utility requirements. Applicant needs to declare in the first section of the form whether land is needed from the Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO), the nodal agency for providing industrial infrastructure in the State of Odisha. Based on his selection, subsequent section of the form will open.

There can be the following three scenarios –

i) Applicant has adequate land in possession and does not require additional land: Applicant will apply for project evaluation and fill the respective fields of the form. After project approval, links for different services for various approvals and clearances will be enabled.

ii) Applicant has partial land and additional land is required: Applicant will apply for project evaluation & land allotment, and fill the respective fields of the form. After project approval, links for different services for various approvals and clearances will be enabled and parallel service for additional land will continue. If IDCO seeks a clarification, then clarifications sought will be sent to the applicant for response.

iii) Applicant has no land: In this situation, until and unless the final approval for allotment of land does not come, links for different services would not be enabled.

Fields marked with ‘*’ are mandatory and should be filled in before submitting the form on the single window portal. Leaving fields blank in the Form is not allowed. In case applicants wish not to enter data in a field, they can put “NA” if it is a text/description field or a “0”, if it is a numeric field. In case of errors, the form will show an error message. The applicant may correct the data and save the form again.

Some of the fields can accept multiple values. If the applicant wishes to furnish more than one item, he may use the “+” button to add more rows. Similarly, if he wishes to remove a row, he may use “x” button.
