Jaipur, December 31: Within a month of the successful conclusion of the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024, the Government of Rajasthan has now set its eyes on setting up new industrial nodes, logistics hubs and multi-modal logistics park to enhance Ease of Doing Business and attract investors in the state. A team of senior state government officials led by Ajitabh Sharma, Principal Secretary (Industries), alongside Inderjeet Singh, Managing Director (RIICO) undertook site visits near Jaipur on Monday to identify strategic locations for these projects.
The officials conducted the site visits at Manda, Phulera (in vicinity of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor) and Bichoon industrial areas and assessed the suitability of various land plots in the region for the projects related to industrial and logistics hub development. The deliberations also took place on the suitability of a land parcel of about 67 hectares in Baghawas village. The government is looking forward to finalising land parcel of about 200-250 hectares for the development of logistic parks & industrial areas. The officials also suggested the extension of the Manda Industrial Area under the proposed Land Aggregation Policy and fast-paced development of the Bichoon Industrial Area.
As stated by Ajitabh Sharma, Principal Secretary (Industries), the creation of new logistics parks and industrial areas will increase ease of operations and bring cost of business down. Dausa-Bandikui region in vicinity of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and Manda Extension in proximity of the Western Dedicated Fright Corridor are two industrial hotbeds in the state with immense potential. In Bandikui and Manda regions, RIICO will develop investment and logistics regions on the government and the aggregate private land areas.
