VISION

Delhi – Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is India’s most ambitious infrastructure programme aiming to develop new industrial cities as “Smart Cities” and converging next generation technologies across infrastructure sectors.

As the Dedicated Freight Corridor commences from Dadri (West Uttar Pradesh), following industrial nodes are envisaged in Uttar Pradesh:

Node-1: Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region
Node-2: Meerut-Muzaffarnagar Industrial Area

Preliminary discussions with the state Government also indicate that sufficient land is available for this purpose. This investment region would be located within 50km from the alignment of Dedicated Freight Corridor and the nearest metropolitan region is Delhi, the National Capital of India.

The objective is to expand India’s Manufacturing & Services base and develop DMIC as a “Global Manufacturing and Trading Hub”. The programme will provide a major impetus to planned urbanization in India with manufacturing as the key driver. In addition to new Industrial Cities, the programme envisages development of infrastructure linkages like power plants, assured water supply, high capacity transportation and logistics facilities as well as softer interventions like skill development programme for employment of the local populace. In the first phase eight new industrial cities are being developed. The programme has been conceptualized in partnership and collaboration with Government of Japan.
