The Rajasthan government is set to develop new industrial nodes, logistics hubs, and a multi-modal logistics park to enhance business operations and attract investors. This move follows the successful ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024, where a record Rs 35 lakh crore worth of investment proposals were signed. On December 30, 2024, senior state officials, including Ajitabh Sharma (Principal Secretary, Industries) and Inderjeet Singh (Managing Director, RIICO), visited key land parcels near Jaipur to evaluate their potential for these projects.

The team visited several locations, including Manda, Phulera, and Bichoon industrial areas, to assess land suitability. They focused on a 67-hectare land parcel in Baghawas village for potential development. The government plans to allocate approximately 200-250 hectares for logistics parks and industrial areas to meet the demands of modern industries. Additionally, officials discussed expanding the Manda Industrial Area and accelerating the development of Bichoon.

Ajitabh Sharma emphasized that the creation of new logistics parks and industrial zones will reduce operational costs and improve ease of doing business. He highlighted the strategic significance of regions like Dausa-Bandikui, near the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, and Manda Extension, close to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. These areas are expected to become key industrial and logistics hubs.

This initiative is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to fulfill the promises made during the investment summit, with a focus on transforming signed proposals into active projects
