Rajasthan emerges as the most Promising Industrial & Logistics Hub

Dedicated Freight Corridor Fully Operational in the State

The 15 hundred kilometer western dedicated freight corridor (DFC) between Dadri and Jawaharlal Nehru Port promises to be a vital logistics artery of the country. Rajasthan is the first-state along the corridor where DFC work has been completed and freight trains are already operational. Long-haul, double stack container trains plying on these tracks are much longer, have a much higher freight carriage capacity and move at about three times the speed of regular freight trains. This fully electric, world-class rail transport system will be the biggest logistical leap of the century… bringing down cost and spelling boon for industries. Taking shape 150 km on both sides of the DFC, is India’s biggest infrastructure project: the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor. (The) DMIC will be the epicentre of unprecedented physical, industrial and logistics infrastructure including mega industrial clusters.

About 39% of the DFC falls in Rajasthan; and by setting up major investment hubs along the corridor, the state is all set to further consolidate its position as an attractive investment destination. The State has enacted ‘The Rajasthan Special Investment Region Act’ to focus on development of such global economic hubs replete with world class infrastructure. Greater Bhiwadi Industrial Township (GBIT) – that lies in the Alwar district and is a part of the National Capital Region – will be developed as a high-tech industrial zone. Spread over 41,000 hectares, it will be linked with national highway 48 through an 8- lane highway, and to Delhi through a 184 km long Rapid Transit Corridor. The Bhiwadi Integrated Development Authority (BIDA) has been constituted to take up development of Bhiwadi region.

The second hub – the Marwar Industrial Cluster – is being developed over 15000 hectares further down in Jodhpur-Pali in south-central Rajasthan. It is close to Industrial areas of Balotra and the upcoming Refinery & Petrochemical Complex and the adjoining Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Region in Barmer. These will see an aggregate investment to the tune of 8 billion dollars. The Marwar Industrial Cluster will house a multi modal logistics hub, and have direct access to national highway 65. A feeder rail line from Rohat to Marwar Junction in Pali will be developed to connect the industrial area to the dedicated freight corridor. The DFC and DMIC will give the industries an unprecedented access to ports of western coast as well as to big industrial & consumer markets of north and west India.
