Government of Rajasthan sets eyes on establishing new industrial nodes, logistics hubs to enhance ease of doing business, attract investors

Jaipur: Within a month of the successful conclusion of the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024, the Government of Rajasthan has now set its eyes on setting up new industrial nodes, logistics hubs and multi-modal logistics park to enhance ease of doing business and attract investors in the state. A team of senior state government officials led by Ajitabh Sharma, Principal Secretary (Industries), alongside Inderjeet Singh, Managing Director (RIICO) undertook site visits near Jaipur on December 30 to identify strategic locations for these projects.

The officials conducted the site visits at Manda, Phulera (in vicinity of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor) and Bichoon industrial areas and assessed the suitability of various land plots in the region for the projects related to industrial and logistics hub development. The deliberations also took place on the suitability of a land parcel of about 67 hectares in Baghawas village. The government is looking forward to finalising land parcel of about 200-250 hectares for the development of logistic parks & industrial areas. The officials also suggested the extension of the Manda Industrial Area under the proposed Land Aggregation Policy and fast-paced development of the Bichoon Industrial Area.

“Creation of new logistics parks and industrial areas will increase ease of operations and bring cost of business down. Dausa-Bandikui region in vicinity of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and Manda Extension in proximity of the Western Dedicated Fright Corridor are two industrial hotbeds in the state with immense potential. In Bandikui and Manda regions, RIICO will develop investment and logistics regions on the government and the aggregate private land areas. Under the directions of CM, we are working round the clock to enhance ease of doing business and convert the signed investment proposals during the summit into running projects,” Ajitabh Sharma, Principal Secretary (Industries), Government of Rajasthan, said on the occasion. 

A few days back, a team of officials led by Sharma had also visited the Dausa-Bandikui region along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway to identify tracts of land for setting up a new investment region in the state. The focused efforts of the department reflect a strong commitment towards realising the promises made during the 'Rising Rajasthan' Global Investment Summit 2024, setting the stage for Rajasthan's industrial expansion and sustainable growth.
