Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project
The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project is a state-sponsored industrial development project undertaken by the Government of India. The ambitious project aims to develop an industrial zone spanning six Indian states. The project will see a major expansion of infrastructure and industry – including industrial clusters and rail, road, port and air connectivity in the states along the route of the Corridor. India and Japan have announced plans to set up a project development fund with an initial value of Rs 10 billion (about $212 million) to which the Japanese and Indian governments will contribute equally.
The corridor would include six mega investment regions of 200 square kilometres (77 sq mi) each and will run through seven states: Delhi, Western Uttar Pradesh, South Haryana, East Rajasthan, East Gujarat, West Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Manesar-Bawal is one of the investment regions selected for development in the first phase of the Corridor while more than 60 per cent of Haryana's area comes under the project, which extends up to 150 kilometres (93 mi) on both sides of the Delhi-Mumbai Dedicated Freight Corridor. This will open a floodgate of opportunities all along NH-8, NH-2, NH-1 and NH -10 for developing industrial, urban and supporting infrastructure through public-private initiatives. Seven Investment Regions and 13 industrial areas have been planned along this Corridor.
Over the last three years, HSIIDC has allotted 78 Industrial plots in Bawal under the prestigious category for medium and large scale projects with capital investment of around 1.18 billion USD.
