INDUSTRIAL CORRIDORS IN INDIA

Industrial Corridor refers to a set of infrastructural spending allocated to a specific geographical area, with the aim of stimulating industrial development. An industrial corridor aims to crease an area with a cluster of manufacturing or other industry.

The major Indian Industrial Corridors are –

  • Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC);
  • Bengaluru- Mumbai Economic Corridor (BMEC);
  • Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC);
  • Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC) and
  • Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC)

Government of India has identified, planned and launched five industrial corridor projects under Make in India Campaign in the Union Budget of 2014-2015, to provide an impetus to industrialisation and planned urbanisation. In each of these corridors, manufacturing is key economic driver and these projects are seen as critical in raising the share of manufacturing in India’s Gross Domestic Product from the current levels of to to by 2022. A National Industrial Corridor Development Authority (NICDA) is being established to converge and integrate the development of all industrial corridors.

Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)

The DMIC project was launched in pursuance of an MOU signed between the Government of India and the Government of Japan in December 2006. DMIC Development Corporation (DMICDC) incorporated in 2008, and it is the implementing agency for the project. DMICDC has been registered as a company with 49% equity of Government of India, 26% equity of the JBIC and the remaining held by government financial institutions.
