Rising Rajasthan Fuels Industrial Boom as RIICO Records Highest Land Allotment in a Decade

Ananya soch: Rajasthan is witnessing a major industrial transformation under the state government’s ambitious “Rising Rajasthan” initiative and investor-friendly policies. Continuous investments, expansion of industrial infrastructure, and establishment of new industries across the state reflect growing confidence among investors and business communities.

According to the latest figures released by RIICO, the financial year 2025-26 has emerged as one of the most successful years for industrial development in the state.

Record Land Allotments in the Last 10 Years

RIICO achieved a historic milestone by allotting 2,072 industrial plots during the last financial year, marking a remarkable 135 percent increase compared to the previous year.
On average, nearly six industrial plots were allotted every day, making it the highest annual allotment rate recorded in the past decade.

The surge in land allotments clearly indicates the increasing interest of entrepreneurs and industries in establishing operations in Rajasthan.

21 New Industrial Areas Developed

To support rapid industrial expansion, RIICO established 21 new industrial areas during the financial year 2025-26. This is also the highest number of industrial areas developed in the last ten years.

The data suggests that, on average, one new industrial area was developed every 17 days. These industrial zones are expected to attract fresh investments, strengthen manufacturing capabilities, and generate employment opportunities across various districts of Rajasthan.

Over 10,000 Acres of Land Acquired

Keeping future industrial demand in mind, RIICO acquired 10,440 acres of land for the development of new industrial areas and investment projects.
This is the highest land acquisition recorded in the last decade and is being viewed as a major step toward creating a robust industrial ecosystem in the state.

The acquired land will be used for industrial expansion, infrastructure development, and attracting both domestic and international investors.

₹539 Crore Spent on Infrastructure Development

Apart from land allotment and acquisition, RIICO has also focused heavily on strengthening industrial infrastructure.
During the financial year 2025-26, nearly ₹539 crore was spent on developing essential facilities such as roads, electricity, water supply, drainage systems, and other amenities in industrial areas.

The improved infrastructure is expected to provide industries with a better operational environment and enhance the ease of doing business in Rajasthan.

Government Committed to Investor Support

Shikhar Agrawal, Additional Chief Secretary of the Industries and Commerce Department, stated that the achievements were in line with the vision of Bhajan Lal Sharma.

He said that RIICO has undertaken record land allotments to encourage industrial investment while simultaneously improving infrastructure facilities for investors. According to him, initiatives like “Rising Rajasthan” and progressive industrial policies have successfully created a favorable investment climate in the state.

Employment and Economic Growth Expected to Rise

Experts believe that the rapid industrial expansion will significantly boost employment opportunities, promote regional economic growth, and position Rajasthan as one of India’s leading investment destinations.

With large-scale infrastructure development and policy-driven industrial growth, Rajasthan is steadily moving toward becoming a strong manufacturing and business hub in the country.
