DPIIT Secretary reviews industrial corridor projects in Haryana, Rajasthan; pushes faster execution

DPIIT Secretary Amardeep Singh Bhatia reviews key industrial corridor projects in Haryana and Rajasthan, focusing on logistics hubs and solar power to boost investment.

"Regular field visits and stakeholder consultations are essential for identifying bottlenecks, enabling faster resolution of issues and strengthening investor confidence. - Amardeep Singh Bhatia"

New Delhi, May 1

Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade Secretary, Amardeep Singh Bhatia, on Friday reviewed key projects under the National Industrial Corridor Programme in Haryana and Rajasthan, with a focus on strengthening industrial infrastructure and boosting investment, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

The review comes as NICDC projects are expected to "drive integrated and sustainable industrial ecosystem development," the ministry said in a release.

During the visit, the Secretary assessed progress at the Integrated Multi-Modal Logistics Hub (IMLH) in Nangal Chaudhary, Haryana, which is being developed at an estimated cost of Rs 1,029 crore. The project is "planned to serve freight movement to and from major industrial regions including Manesar, Bawal, Dharuhera, East Rajasthan and Western/Northern Haryana sub-regions of NCR," the release said.

He also reviewed the development of logistics infrastructure, including "EXIM zone, warehousing, container stacking, transportation zone and commercial areas," as part of the project's Phase-I implementation.

In Rajasthan, Bhatia visited the NICDC Neemrana Solar Power Project, described as "an Indo-Japan collaboration" that "demonstrates the integration of solar power with smart micro-grid systems for industrial use," the ministry said.

The Secretary also reviewed the Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar Industrial Area (JPMIA), which is expected to attract significant investment and generate employment. The project "is expected to attract investment of approximately Rs 7,500 crore and generate around 40,000 employment opportunities," according to the release.

The ministry said the node has strong connectivity and is "positioned to serve key industrial and logistics markets in western Rajasthan," with focus sectors including textiles, automobiles, engineering goods, and agro-processing.

During stakeholder consultations, industry representatives highlighted the need for "continued support in resolving operational and infrastructure-related issues, improving ease of doing business, and strengthening industrial competitiveness," the release noted.

Addressing these concerns, Bhatia said DPIIT and other stakeholders are working closely to address challenges. He noted that "regular field visits and stakeholder consultations are essential for identifying bottlenecks, enabling faster resolution of issues and strengthening investor confidence," the ministry said.

The visit underscores the government's push to accelerate industrial corridor projects and build "world-class industrial infrastructure" aimed at boosting manufacturing and employment in the country, the release added.

The Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar Industrial Area sounds promising—40,000 jobs is no small figure. But we've seen such announcements before. The real test is execution on ground. Rajasthan's textile and agro-processing sectors have huge potential, but they need reliable power and water. Hope the solar project in Neemara sets a precedent for green industrial parks across India. 🇮🇳

Glad to see the government acknowledging stakeholder concerns on ease of doing business. But these reviews need to translate into real action—many industries still complain about bureaucratic hurdles at state level. The DPIIT Secretary's field visits are a good start, but we need more accountability on timelines.

Interesting to see the Indo-Japan collaboration on solar micro-grid. That's a smart approach—combining renewable energy with industrial parks. If India can scale this model across all industrial corridors, it could be a win-win for manufacturing growth and climate goals. The Nangal Chaudhary hub near NCR also makes sense for freight logistics.

Rs 7,500 cr investment and 40,000 jobs for Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar area is impressive. But let's be honest—many such projects get delayed due to land acquisition issues and infrastructure gaps. I hope the Secretary's review leads to concrete solutions. Rajasthan needs this boost, especially for textiles and agro-processing which are key to local employment.

Good step! The Nangal Chaudhary logistics hub costing over Rs 1,000 crore sounds ambitious. But I'm curious—how will this integrate with the Dedicated Freight Corridor and existing rail/road networks? Integrated
