GIDC to set up 336-acre medical device park in Rajkot, VGRC to pitch investment opportunities

Gujarat announces a 336-acre medical device park in Rajkot with plug-and-play infrastructure, aiming to boost manufacturing and exports ahead of Vibrant Gujarat 2026.

"The park is envisioned as an integrated ecosystem supporting the entire value chain, from research and product development to testing, manufacturing and global exports. – GIDC Announcement"

Gandhinagar, December 26

Gujarat is strengthening its push to emerge as a major hub for medical device manufacturing with the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation announcing a new, sector-specific Medical Device Park at Nagalpar in Rajkot district. Spread over 336 acres, the park is envisioned as an integrated ecosystem supporting the entire value chain, from research and product development to testing, manufacturing and global exports.

Officials said the upcoming park will cater to India's fast-growing medical device sector by offering plug-and-play infrastructure and industry-focused facilities. The initiative aligns with Gujarat's broader strategy to attract high-value manufacturing investments and reinforce its leadership in sunrise sectors.

The Nagalpar site has been strategically selected for its strong connectivity. It is located close to key ports such as Pipavav (125 km), Kandla (198 km) and Mundra (243 km), enabling efficient export logistics. Rajkot Airport provides air connectivity to major cities including Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, while the park lies just 9 km from National Highway-27, linking it to Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Delhi.

The park will feature ready-to-use utilities designed for medical device manufacturers. These include a proposed water supply system with a capacity of 3.5 million litres per day, dedicated solid waste management facilities, a sewage treatment plant, and land earmarked for a 66 KV substation to ensure uninterrupted power. A common warehouse and logistics centre is also planned to support supply chain efficiency.

The announcement comes ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) scheduled to be held in Rajkot in January 2026. The conference is expected to serve as a key platform to attract domestic and global investors to the new medical device ecosystem. Leveraging Rajkot's established base in orthopaedic and surgical device manufacturing, VGRC will highlight investment opportunities across the Kutch and Saurashtra regions in sectors such as engineering, ports and logistics, and agro and food processing.

State officials said VGRC will facilitate investor-government engagement, land allotments and partnerships, positioning Gujarat at the forefront of India's medical device manufacturing growth.

As someone from Rajkot, this is very exciting. But I hope the development is sustainable and doesn't put too much pressure on local water resources. The 3.5 MLD water supply sounds good, but we need to ensure it's managed responsibly. Overall, a positive step for the region's economy.

Excellent strategic move. Proximity to Pipavav, Kandla, and Mundra ports is a game-changer for exports. This will significantly reduce our dependency on imported medical devices and boost 'Make in India'. Hope they offer good incentives at the VGRC conference to attract top-tier global manufacturers.

The integrated ecosystem approach is key. Having R&D, testing, and manufacturing in one park will foster innovation and reduce time-to-market. Gujarat continues to lead in creating industry-specific clusters. Looking forward to seeing the investment pitches at the 2026 conference.

Good planning, but execution is everything. Hope the promised utilities like the 66 KV substation and common warehouse are delivered on time. We've seen projects get delayed before. If done right, this can be a model for other states. Jai Gujarat!

This will be a huge boost for local engineering talent. Rajkot has skilled workers in precision engineering. Coupling that with a medical device park can create a world-class hub. Hope they also focus on training programs to bridge any skill gaps. 🙌
