The Rajasthan government has earmarked nine industrial zones along the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway, aiming to draw about ₹10,000 crore in investment.
Rajasthan's state administration announced a blueprint to set up nine dedicated industrial zones flanking the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway, covering districts that lie along the corridor. The proposal is part of a broader effort to leverage the expressway's logistics advantage for manufacturing and export‑oriented units.
Officials project that the combined investment across the zones could reach roughly ₹10,000 crore, with private developers expected to play a leading role. The focus will be on sectors such as automotive components, textiles, food processing and renewable‑energy equipment.
The government expects the zones to generate substantial employment opportunities and to spur ancillary services in the region. Infrastructure support, including power, water and road links, will be coordinated with the central government's industrial corridor initiatives.
By aligning the zones with the high‑speed expressway, Rajasthan aims to position itself as a competitive hub for domestic and foreign investors seeking efficient market access to both northern and western India.
