Given the ever-increasing manufacturing capabilities of India, India is planning to establish more than 20 Mega Industrial Parks by 2030. The purpose of setting up these Mega Industrial Parks is to follow the successful industrial park model of China as well as to make India a leader in the global manufacturing ecosystem.
Moving from fifth to third position in global manufacturing.
India currently ranks fifth in global manufacturing output. With the establishment of these mega parks in the coming decade, India can achieve its goal of reaching the third position. These Mega Industrial Parks are envisaged to be developed by building linkages and representations between various key ministries and authorities, some of the key being:-
- Pharma
- Textiles
- Petroleum
- Commerce
These Mega Industrial Parks are expected to provide a structural and central approach to industrial development, addressing issues related to sporadic and fragmented development.
Key features of Mega Industrial Parks.
Sector-specific focus:
Each park will be dedicated to specific industries such as:
- Chemicals
- Textiles
- Leather
- Medical devices
- Bulk drugs
Streamlined manufacturing hubs:
- Integrated facilities with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
